Missouri Compromise
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 prohibited slavery in the remaining Louisiana Purchase lands north of the 36°30′ parallel, which was Missouri's southern border, except for the state of Missouri itself.
Most of the Louisiana Purchase was located to the west of the Mississippi River and included areas both north and south of the Missouri Compromise line, which was established at latitude 36°30′. While a significant portion of the territory acquired in the Purchase was south of this line, particularly in what is now Arkansas and parts of Louisiana, the northern portions of the Purchase, including land that would become North Dakota and Montana, were above the line. Thus, the Louisiana Purchase encompassed land both north and south of the Missouri Compromise line.
1. Missouri will be admitted as a slave state 2. Maine will be admitted as a free state 3. Any territory within the Louisiana Purchase above the Missouri Compromise Line (parallel 36' 30) will be admitted as a free state. 4. Any territory within the Louisiana Purchase below the Missouri Compromise Line will be admitted as a slave state. There's no fifth point.
The Missouri Compromise affected the area in the former Louisiana Territory, except within the boundaries of the state of Missouri. It was a compromise that prohibited slavery within the territory.
