...This momentous question [Missouri compromise], like a fire bell in the night, awakened and filled me
with terror. I considered it at once as the knell [sound of death] of the Union. It is hushed, indeed, for the
moment. But this is a reprieve [delay] only, not a final sentence. A geographical line, coinciding with a
marked principle, moral and political, once conceived and held up to the angry passions of men, will
never be obliterated [destroyed]; and every new irritation will mark it deeper and deeper . . . ---Thomas
Jefferson (Missouri Compromise)
“...If you persist, the Union will be dissolved [disbanded]. You have kindled [started] a fire which all the
waters of the ocean cannot put out, which seas of blood can only extinguish." —Representative Thomas
W. Cobb of Georgia, 1819
