Missouri compromise
The Missouri Compromise of 1820.
The Missouri Compromise, enacted in 1820, aimed to resolve the conflict between slave and free states as the United States expanded westward. It allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine was admitted as a free state, maintaining the balance of power in Congress. Additionally, it established the 36°30′ parallel as the line dividing free and slave territories in the Louisiana Purchase. This compromise temporarily eased tensions but ultimately highlighted the growing sectional divide over slavery.
Missouri compromise...
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state, Maine as a free state, and established a boundary prohibiting slavery north of latitude 36°30' in the Louisiana Territory. However, it only temporarily appeased tensions over slavery and ultimately failed to resolve the issue, leading to further conflicts such as the Civil War.
The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln in 1863 and the passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1865 formally ended slavery in the United States, settling the issue temporarily.
The Missouri Compromise, enacted in 1820, aimed to resolve the contentious issue of slavery in the Louisiana Territory by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state to maintain the balance of power in Congress. It also established the 36°30' parallel as a boundary, prohibiting slavery north of this line (except in Missouri) while allowing it south of the line. This compromise temporarily eased tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions, although it ultimately laid the groundwork for further conflict over slavery in the expanding United States.

The underlying issue addressed by the Missouri Compromise was the conflict between free and slave states regarding the expansion of slavery into newly acquired territories. It aimed to maintain a balance between free and slave states by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while prohibiting slavery north of the 36°30' latitude line in the Louisiana Territory. While it temporarily eased tensions, the compromise ultimately failed to resolve the deeper issues surrounding slavery, leading to increased sectionalism and contributing to the outbreak of the Civil War.
