Slavery had expanded into the Louisiana Territory in 1818, when the Missouri Compromise was declared by Henry Clay.
The Missouri Compromise was passed in 1820 to address the issue of slavery in the Louisiana Territory. It allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine was admitted as a free state, maintaining a balance between free and slave states. Additionally, the compromise established a line at latitude 36°30′, north of which slavery was prohibited in the remaining territory of the Louisiana Purchase, except for Missouri. This legislative agreement aimed to reduce tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States.

Missouri was admitted as a slave state, but Maine was admitted as a free state, preserving the Senate's balance.
