Every state has the same number of U.S. Senators (two), so if there were more free states than slave states, the Senators from the southern slave states would be outnumbered, so they wouldn't have enough votes to stop any anti-slavery legislation from passing.

The slave codes changed in 1865 when the 13th amendment was ratified. Slave codes were laws that restricted African Americans behaviors due to the fear of rebellion.
They force-captured other Africans (using European traded guns) and traded them for goods with Europeans. They gained power by doing this because they had goods, money, and fear from other African states.
The North. It was issued by Lincoln, chiefly to keep the British from aiding the Confederates (because it would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.) The Proclamation declared slavery to be illegal in all the states in rebellion - that is, the South. It allowed slavery to continue in the slave-states that had remained loyal, for fear of upsetting powerful slave-owners and driving them into the arms of the Confederacy.
Yes, it was one of the slave-states that had remained loyal to the USA, and Lincoln was keen not to upset the people of Missouri, for fear of driving into the arms of the Confederates.
The deterioration in relations between the North and the South has to be taken in the context of the expansion of the US westward. The Southern fear was that free states would outnumber slave states in the Senate and thus be able to outlaw slavery. Before the Civil War, conflicts were seen in whether Missouri and Kansas would enter the Union as free or slave states. The North DID have groups who were fervently abolitionist (ie. John Brown), and there was a growing cultural divide between the industrial north and the agrarian south. Nevertheless, the crux of the tensions was control of the Senate.

Northerners feared that Southern slave owners might expand slavery into new territories and states, potentially increasing the political power of slave states and threatening the balance of power between free and slave states in the United States. They also feared that the economic interests of Southern slave owners would dominate national policies, leading to the spread of slavery in the country.
Northerners feared that southern slave owners would expand slavery into new territories, leading to political and economic conflicts. They were also concerned about the influence of pro-slavery forces in the national government and the potential spread of slave labor competition in free states.

All new states would be free soil, and the slave-states would be permanently outvoted in Congress, which would pass laws that favoured the North over the South.

The southern states saw abolitionism as a threat to their way of life because their economy heavily relied on slave labor in industries such as agriculture. Abolitionism challenged the institution of slavery, which was deeply woven into the social, political, and economic fabric of the southern states. This threat to their labor system and the fear of losing control over their property led the southern states to view abolitionism as a direct challenge to their way of life.
