compromise of 1820
They liked it because it could have allowed new slave states.
Charles Sumner
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.

there isn't really a name for them, they are like any state but they have slavery. you could call them southern slave states or slave states, or southern states...... there is no definition for slave states that didnt secede proir to the civil war
The eleven "Southern" states that seceded from the Union were all "slave" states. The slave holding states of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware were termed to be "border" states and geographically, none of them can be describes as "Southern" states, especially Delaware.
the Confederacy
Before the Civil War, there was a perfect balance between "slave" states and "free" states. Neither side could budge the other, and no new states could be admitted to the Union without a vote of the Congress - more specifically, the Senate. So new states were admitted in pairs, one slave and one free, to preserve the balance. If one new "slave" state had been admitted to the Union, the majority of slave state senators would have been able to outvote the "free" state senators and admit more "slave" states. The balance was shattered when the southern states seceded from the United States, and the Civil War settled the issue - at the cost of a half-million dead.
the southern states such as Florida and Georgia
Senators from the Northern states also objected to the spread of slavery and the admission of any other slave states into the Union. At the time Missouri asked for admission into the Union, the Senate was equally divided with eleven free states and eleven slave states. The new state of Missouri would add two members to the Senate, thereby giving the slave states a majority in the Senate. The Northern senators also feared that, if Missouri were accepted as a slave state, all of the Louisiana territory might be open for slavery. The Southern states were concerned about prohibition of slavery in the Louisiana territory.
The North were free states and the South were slave states.
