In 1820 the tension was high as the union decided weather or not they should admitt new state in. The states were disagreeing about the slavery or antislavery environment would be in Missiouri if it was admitted into the union. While Congress considered the Missiouri question Maine applied for statehood broadening the discussion to Maine and Missiouri. Henry clay stepped in and made a comprimise to keep the balance between the north and south. In March 1820 the Missiouri Comprimise was reached, admitting Missiouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. The remainder of the Louisiana Teriotory north of the 36degree 30'N parallel banned slavery.

∙ 8y agoThe two Missouri Compromises dealt with keeping the number of free and slave states in balance. The Missouri Compromise of 1850 was dissolved by the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act. This allowed people in territories to vote on slavery before entry into the USA. All executive and congressional activities concerning slavery was canceled by the 1859 US Supreme Court. The ruling was that slaves were property, could never be American citizens, not claim due process, or hold public office.
