South ofthat line, slavery was allowed. But it only applied to the territories acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803.

When the USA acquired vast new lands from Mexico in 1847, a new compromise had to be worked out, in view of the Wilmot Proviso, which declared that no slavery should be allowed in any of these new territories.
