The Missouri Compromise of 1820 had three main parts: First, it admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state to maintain the balance of power between slave and free states. Second, it established the 36°30′ parallel as the dividing line for slavery in the Louisiana Territory, allowing slavery south of the line and prohibiting it north of the line (except in Missouri). Lastly, it aimed to ease tensions between the North and South over the expansion of slavery in new territories.
