∙ 13y agoThe problem was that Missouri wanted to join the Union as a slave state, therefore unbalancing the Union so there would be more slave states then free states. The Northern states were appalled that there would be more slave states than free states, but the southern states didn't want to give up their rights to own slaves. The compromise set it up so that Maine joined as a free state and Missouri joined as a slave state. Congress also made a line across the southern border of Missouri saying except for the state of Missouri, all states north of that line must be free states or states without slavery.
