Every state has the same number of U.S. Senators (two), so if there were more free states than slave states, the Senators from the southern slave states would be outnumbered, so they wouldn't have enough votes to stop any anti-slavery legislation from passing.

When did the slave code change?
The slave codes changed in 1865 when the 13th amendment was ratified. Slave codes were laws that restricted African Americans behaviors due to the fear of rebellion.
How did some African states use the slave trade to gain power?
They force-captured other Africans (using European traded guns) and traded them for goods with Europeans. They gained power by doing this because they had goods, money, and fear from other African states.
Was the emancipation proclamation from the north or south?
The North. It was issued by Lincoln, chiefly to keep the British from aiding the Confederates (because it would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.) The Proclamation declared slavery to be illegal in all the states in rebellion - that is, the South. It allowed slavery to continue in the slave-states that had remained loyal, for fear of upsetting powerful slave-owners and driving them into the arms of the Confederacy.
Was Missouri the last state to free slaves?
Yes, it was one of the slave-states that had remained loyal to the USA, and Lincoln was keen not to upset the people of Missouri, for fear of driving into the arms of the Confederates.
Did slavery hinder North-South relations more by preventing freedom or by maintaining an economic dichotomy between industrial North and rural South?
The deterioration in relations between the North and the South has to be taken in the context of the expansion of the US westward. The Southern fear was that free states would outnumber slave states in the Senate and thus be able to outlaw slavery. Before the Civil War, conflicts were seen in whether Missouri and Kansas would enter the Union as free or slave states. The North DID have groups who were fervently abolitionist (ie. John Brown), and there was a growing cultural divide between the industrial north and the agrarian south. Nevertheless, the crux of the tensions was control of the Senate.
