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.
