Following the acquisition of the enormous Louisiana Purchase, there was a big debate about which parts would be slave country and which parts would be free soil.
The Missouri Compromise was an attempt to simplify the issue by setting a single parallel (line of latitude), and ruling that slavery would be illegal everywhere North of this line, however far West it extended. The line was the Southern border of Missouri, and if North and South would agree on this, then Missouri could be admitted as a slave-state.
The Compromise lasted quite well until more extensive new terrirories were acquired from Mexico in 1848.
