Slavery was not something you could half-abolish.
The Missouri Compromise temporarily solved a dispute over slavery by keeping the number of slave and free states equal. It was later replaced by the Compromise of 1850.

For its time in US history, the Missouri Compromise of 1820, seemed to be the most logical solution to keep the number of free States and slave States in balance. No one could have predicted the rapid growth of the United States and the force of the anti slavery movement. The issue of slavery, meaning, should it exist in America or not, was not an issue to be solved in 1820. As an aside, the major power in the world of its day, The British Empire did not abolish slavery until 1833.
The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, solved the issue of how the states were represented in congress. Resolved in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the Great Compromise solved the problem of representation for smaller states by having Congress have two senators for the Senate and proportional representation in the House of Representatives, based on population of the state.
