What would be the long-term effect of the failed Tallmadge Amendment?

If abolished slavery in all states.
It ended slavery in the territories.
It failed so it had no effect on slavery.
It emancipated Missouri-born slaves.

Answer 1

If abolished slavery in all states.

Answer 2

It is actually D. It emancipated Missouri-born slaves. The Tallmadge Amendment was not passed, it failed. The question was what the long term effect *would be*, or what it would have been if it was passed. And it states "His amendment would ultimately result in the emancipation of all slaves born in Missouri." So the correct answer is D.
