How were northern lawmakers convinced to allow Missouri into the union as a slave state under the Missouri Compromise?

Northern lawmakers were convinced to allow Missouri into the Union as a slave state through a series of political compromises and concessions. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 included the admission of Maine as a free state, balancing the number of free and slave states. Additionally, it established a geographic boundary for slavery in the Louisiana Territory, which reassured northern interests by limiting the expansion of slavery in future states. These concessions helped to secure enough support from northern lawmakers to accept Missouri's admission as a slave state.
