If Missouri was allowed to be a be a slave state what would keep slavery from spreading all across Louisiana territory?
Check out this quote from Wikipedia on the Missouri Compromise (which, I'm assuming is what you need more information on): "Controversy over whether Missouri should be admitted as a slave state, resulted in the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which specified that Louisiana Purchase territory north of latitude 36° 30', which described Missouri's southern boundary, would be organized as free states and territory south of that line would be reserved for organization as slave states. As part of that compromise, the admission of Maine as a free state was secured to balance Missouri's admission as a slave state."
