Of course. It was a free country.
The Missouri Compromise happened in the 1820s :)
It sounds like the Missouri Compromise, where slavery would be permitted 'not north' of Missouri's Southern border.
It started St. Anthony School in Tigard, Oregon and gave birth to Mrs. Bolliger
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 lasted 30 years. The US remained divided on where slavery could exist and thus the Missouri Compromise of 1850 was enacted.
After the Mexican War, California was admitted to the Union as one big state that extended so far on either side of the Missouri Line that both sides claimed it. To get California admitted as free soil, Congress had to repeal the Missouri Compromise and appease the South with a new deal.
The state of Maine was established because of the Missouri Compromise ( to balance # of slave and free states) but it was a part of Massachusetts and that colony started because of desire for religious freedom
It actually averted war for thirty years. The problem came when California was up for entry to the USA, and it extended too far on either side of the Missouri Line - both sides claimed it.
Nope, Maine was also a anti-slavery state since the start of it's joining into the Union in 1820. Maine joined the Union from the Compromise of 1820. Missouri wanted to become a slave state, but in order to keep a balance between slave to anti-slave states, Maine was then admitted to the Union as a free state(Missouri Compromise of 1820).
