Why did Missouri' s application for admission to the union spark a controversy?
One controversial feature of Missouri's admission was that nearly all of the state was north of the line where slavery was supposed to be permitted by a previous agreement. Only a tiny portion ('the bootheel') was south of the slavery line, but the whole state would be admitted as a slave state. This upset northern anti-slavery advocates including Quakers, and encouraged southerners in favor of expanding slavery throughout all the western territories and states.
Did new problems about the spread of slavery come up after the Missouri Compromise?
New problems about the spread of slavery came up because the Missouri compromise stated that North of the Missouri line would be free and south would be slave up to the Rocky Mountains. This would mean that America would have less slave states which would mean the South would lose power in the Senate which annoyed the South.
