What impact did The Missouri Compromise have on the U.S when it was passed?

It allowed the territory of Missouri to join the USA as a slave-state.


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."


What were the 5 points of the Missouri Compromise?

1. Missouri will be admitted as a slave state 2. Maine will be admitted as a free state 3. Any territory within the Louisiana Purchase above the Missouri Compromise Line (parallel 36' 30) will be admitted as a free state. 4. Any territory within the Louisiana Purchase below the Missouri Compromise Line will be admitted as a slave state. There's no fifth point.
