The Missouri Compromise said that any land below Missouri is slavery land, and any land above that, is freedom.
well you can say that the Missouri compromise allowed south to have slavery but north couldn't and then all went well until the compromise of 1850 when California got permitted as a free state south got mad and the civil war began. I'm writing a report on this too but includes more.
1820-1861 That's forty-one years. Some say it saved America.
It could not accommodate California, unless that territory was admitted to the Union as two separate states, meeting on the Missouri line. Some say this could have averted war.
Three years later the Missouri Compromise was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision, which ruled that Congress did not have the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories.
In 1820, the Missouri Compromise happened because of the desire of Northern and Southern national leaders to maintain an even balance between slavery-supporters and slavery-opponents in America's federal governing power. In a sense, this Compromise indicated the unwillingness of most national politicians (and people) to resolve the issue of slavery once and for all at that time: the resolution was deferred to the future.
mama mia
it says that slavery was not allowed there
because it ended the missouri compromise
Slavery would be legal there. But this did not apply to the new territories that were later acquired from Mexico.
The Missouri Compromise made slavery illegal in much of the US, except for the state of Missouri. Some people believe that this made the Civil War erupt later than it would have without the compromise.
The name for the compromise proposed by Henry Clay for the admission of Missouri to the United States was the Missouri Compromise. It said that Missouri would be admitted as a slave state and Maine as a free state. It kept the balance of power in the Senate between the slave states and free states. It also called for slavery to be banned from the Louisiana Territory north of the parallel 36˚ 30', Missouri's southern border.

im almost positive he didnt say that
It was part of a deal - the Missouri Compromise - which kept the peace for thirty years. In exchange for allowing Missouri to join the Union as a slave-state, Congress drew a line of latitude, North of which slavery would be illegal henceforth. This line was the parallel of Missouri's Southern state border, and it extended all the way to the Pacific. It was the proposed admission of California that finally rendered this compromise impractical. Some say that if there could have been two states, North California and South Californa, meeting on the Missouri line, war could have been avoided.

Timothy Claimright did not want Maine to be associated with slavery. He felt that because of the Missouri compromise people would associated slavery with Maine, and they would not think of Maine as a strong free state. He also was strongly against slavery; he believed that freedom was a God givin right and did not wish to see the institution of slavery move westward.
