∙ 8y agoThe Missouri Compromise was an agreement passed in 1820 between the pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States Congress, involving primarily the regulation of slavery in the western territories. It prohibited slavery in the former Louisiana Territory north of the parallel 36°30' north except within the boundaries of the proposed state of Missouri. Prior to the agreement, the House of Representatives had refused to accept this compromise and a conference committee was appointed. The United States Senate refused to concur in the amendment, and the whole measure was lost.
During the following session (1819-1820), the House passed a similar bill with an amendment, introduced on January 26, 1820 by John W. Taylor of New York, allowing Missouri into the union as a slave state. The question had been complicated by the admission in December of Alabama, a slave state, making the number of slave and free states equal. In addition, there was a bill in passage through the House (January 3, 1820) to admit Maine as a free state.
The Senate decided to connect the two measures. It passed a bill for the admission of Maine with an amendment enabling the people of Missouri to form a state constitution. Before the bill was returned to the House, a second amendment was adopted on the motion of Jesse B. Thomas of Illinois, excluding slavery from the Missouri Territory north of the parallel 36°30' north (the southern boundary of Missouri), except within the limits of the proposed state of Missouri.
The Missouri Compromise of 1850 also was passed to keep the balance of free and slave states equal.

∙ 8y agoPrior to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, there were two major compromises in the US Congress that were signed by two different presidents. The first compromise was the Missouri Compromise of 1820. Later as the US grew and populations grew, it was clear that new states would be added. Once again the problem of free states versus slave states came into being. The balance was maintained by the Missouri Compromise of 1850. James Madison signed the 1820 version and Millard Fillmore signed the 1850 compromise.

What did the north and south feel about slavery in the west?
It isn't right to generalize, because the North's populace did not all hate slavery, and the South's did not all support it. In your generalized terms, both the North and the South wished for the new states out west to have slavery laws in accordance with their positions. This almost led to war, but several compromises were made: The Missouri Comprimise, the Comprimise of 1850, and other deals, such as the Three Fifths Comprimise. However, these only delayed war, and events such as Bleeding Kansas were instrumental in starting the Civil War

Why was the balance between US slave and free states an important thing?
There were a number of reasons in the antebellum years of the US to keep the number of free states in balance with the slave states. For the South, a balance helped to continue the existence of slavery, to them an economic and social necessity. It also would prevent an amendment to the US Constitution from altering or abolishing the institution of slavery. For the North, a balance would prevent having the nation to be seen and operated as a slave society. Most Americans in the North had no taste for slavery.
