What was the purpose of the Missouri?

The fundamental purpose of the Missouri Compromise was to find common ground for two very different groups of Americans, those who advocated slavery and those who opposed it. With overall legislative control of the country at stake, the Compromise attempted to balance out the power of slave-holding states with "free" states as new territories within America were seeking (and achieving) recognition as full-fledged member-states of the Union.

How did Henry Clay attempt to dissolve or settle differences between the North and South over slavery?

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Henry Clay, perhaps made his most significant contribution to US history with his Missouri Compromise of 1820. Missouri was a slave territory seeking admission for statehood. If Missouri entered as a slave state the balance between free and slave states would tilt to the latter. Under Clay's plan, a new New England free state would be carved out of Massachusetts. This plan was accepted and the results kept the Union together for nearly 30 years.

Is the free coinage of Western senators related directly to the silver vs gold debate?

No. "At the time of Arizona's push for statehood, there were other territories that had just recently gained statehood, or, like Arizona, were seeking it. This caused many politicians to be concerned about what has been termed "the free coinage of Western senators". Every time a new state is created, two new senators are "coined," or given seats in the senate."

What were the 2 states that wanted to be admitted during the Kansas and Nebraska Act?

The Kansas and Nebraska Act, passed in 1854, allowed for the potential admission of two new states: Kansas and Nebraska. Both territories were seeking statehood, with Kansas eventually becoming a free state and Nebraska becoming a slave state. This provision, known as "popular sovereignty," led to increased tensions and the eventual outbreak of violence in Kansas over the issue of slavery.
