If Missouri was allowed to be a be a slave state what would keep slavery from spreading all across Louisiana territory?

Check out this quote from Wikipedia on the Missouri Compromise (which, I'm assuming is what you need more information on): "Controversy over whether Missouri should be admitted as a slave state, resulted in the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which specified that Louisiana Purchase territory north of latitude 36° 30', which described Missouri's southern boundary, would be organized as free states and territory south of that line would be reserved for organization as slave states. As part of that compromise, the admission of Maine as a free state was secured to balance Missouri's admission as a slave state."

Why did Missouri' s application for admission to the union spark a controversy?

One controversial feature of Missouri's admission was that nearly all of the state was north of the line where slavery was supposed to be permitted by a previous agreement. Only a tiny portion ('the bootheel') was south of the slavery line, but the whole state would be admitted as a slave state. This upset northern anti-slavery advocates including Quakers, and encouraged southerners in favor of expanding slavery throughout all the western territories and states.


What factors led to the Missouri Compromise and what were its main provisions?

The Missouri Compromise occurred due to disagreement over whether territories admitted to the Union should be admitted as slave states or free states. Under the terms of the agreement, a line was drawn across all territories that were part of the Louisiana Territory at latitude 36 degrees 30 minutes North, and all territories north of that boundary line with the exception of Missouri were to be free of slavery. In order to balance the number of free and slave states with the admission of Missouri as a slave state, the northern portion of Massachusetts was separated to become the State of Maine.

Did the union or confederate contol Missouri territory in 1820?

There was no Confederacy in 1820. The debate was whether the territory of Missouri would be admitted to the USA as a slave-state or free soil. Congress allowed it to enter as a slave-state, on condition that there would be no more new slave-states North of the parallel that marked Missouri's Southern border. It was in 1861 that the question of Union or Confederate control became an issue. There was sectional violence there throughout the war, but the state did remain loyal.
