The Missouri Compromise was an attempt to maintain the balance of power between the North and South when Missouri petitioned for statehood. The Compromise allowed Missouri, a slave state, and Maine, a free state, in together thereby maintaining equality between the two sides. However, the Compromise went on to prohibit slavery in the rest of the Louisiana Purchase that was north of latitude 36-30N.The Missouri Compromise that was passed in 1820 was between the pro slavery and anti slavery factions in the United States Congress.
Henry Clay's primary purpose in offering the compromise of 1850 was to keep the Union together.

The result was that Missouri enter the US as a slave state and to keep an even balance of free and slave states, the northeast section of Massachusetts was cut off to form the free state of Maine.
