The Missouri Compromise of 1820 resulted in the admission of Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. This was done to maintain the balance between slave and free states in the Union. The compromise also established a line (the 36°30′ parallel) above which slavery was prohibited in the Louisiana Territory, except for Missouri.
