The impasse was resolved when Maine separated from Massachusetts and applied for statehood. A compromise, supported by Henry Clay, was proposed and accepted by both sides. This compromise, known as the Missouri Compromise, provided for the admittance of Missouri as a slave state and the admittance of Maine as a free state, thereby preserving the balance of power. In addition, the North was able to hold its position that Congress should determine the expansion of slavery into the territories by including a provision that forbade slavery forever in the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36o 30' parallel.
So the three main components of the Missouri Compromise are;
1) admit Missouri as a slave state
2) admit Maine as a free state
3) forbid slavery north of 36o 30' in the Louisiana Purchase
Maine was a free state. Missouri was a slave state. No slaves above 36'30
The missouri compromise allowed for slavery to happen in the north 36 30 louisiana territory.
-Admitted Maine as a free state
-admitted missouri as a slave state
1.missouri would be admitted as a slave state.
2.maine would be admitted as a free state.
3.slavery would be declaired illeagal north of the 36*30` paralell west of missouri.
