The state that entered the US in 1820 as a slave state was Missouri. This was resulting from the Missouri Compromise, or otherwise known as the Compromise of 1820. This compromise stated that slavery in the Louisiana Territory and north of the 36°30' line was all free. Since Missouri was admitted as a free state, Maine was admitted as a free state in order to create an equal balance of free to slave states.
