They did not agree to the Missouri Compromise. They were just out voted by the north.
-------------
The South allowed so much territory to be free states because they did not believe that there would be any more state made out of that territory because they thought of it as not settleable... so not many people would want to go there. Because there was a population requirement to request statehood, they thought that there would not be any more free states carved out of the "free" territory. (I know... a bit repetitious...) Hope this helps.

Did Robert E. Lee fight for slavery?
No he didn't. Like the best Southerners he had always considered the slavery as an evil, and favoured the gradual emancipation of the blacks. After the war broke out he set free the half dozen slaves of whom he was the owner. He fought to defend his State, Virginia and the Independence of the South against that he called the "The Aggression of the North".
