Senator Edward Everett petitioned against this measure, which was rejected by the House and led to a Senate deadlock over John W. Taylor's amendment. When the question of freed blacks came up, the "second" one of these was engineered, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act ended Jesse B. Thomas's thirty-six thirty restriction. The Dred Scott decision said that Congress could not prohibit slavery in territories, so this was declared unconstitutional. It specifically dealt with Maine's admission as a free state, and it was helped along by Henry Clay. Name this 1820 agreement that admitted the namesake state to the Union as a slave state.
