The Missouri Compromise, otherwise known as the Compromise of 1820 was when Maine and Missouri became a state. Maine became a free state, while Missouri became a slave state in order to keep a balance of slave to free state ratio. Also, anything below the 36°30' line was known to be a slave state, and everything north of it was free from slavery.

It drew a line in the sand - one parallel marking the Southern border of Missouri. Anywhere North of that line would be free soil. This was meant to avert arguments about whether new states would be slave or free. Although neither side was happy about the new ruling, it managed to keep the peace for thirty years.
