The Missouri Compromise allowed Missouri to be entered as a slave state. It also made it possible to create a clear line as to how the North and South states could be divided. The admittance of the state of California was the point at which the Missouri Compromise could not longer be utilized for this purpose.

What did America gain as a result of the Mexican American war how would this affect the Missouri compromise?

As a result of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), America gained a significant amount of territory, including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming, through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This expansion intensified the debate over slavery in the newly acquired territories, complicating the already fragile balance between free and slave states established by the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The influx of new land reignited tensions and ultimately contributed to the sectional conflicts leading up to the Civil War.
