The panic of 1819, the rise of the West, and the Missouri Compromise
Missouri's application for statehood in 1819 raised the issue of whether slavery should be allowed in the new state, leading to fierce debates in Congress about the balance of power between free and slave states. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 emerged as a temporary resolution, allowing Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, and prohibiting slavery in the unorganized territories north of the 36°30’ parallel.
