Answer:

The North controlled the House Representatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tallmadge Amendment produced great debate and mixed results in Congress. At the close of the debate over the Tallmadge Amendment, the amendment passed in the House of Representatives, which was controlled by the North. It failed in the Senate, which was divided equally between the North in the South. Congress ended it's session without making a decision about Missouri's statehood.
