The admission of the union ended the balance of slave free states?

No, that sentence is not correct. It appears that it may have been a correct sentence at one time, but you left out some of the words. The idea that the number of slave and free states needed to be balanced was not initially considered particularly important, and the balance had shifted back and forth several times as existing states approved the Constitution (and thus formally joined the United States) and as new states were formed; also, New York started as a slave state but became a free state in 1799.By 1812 (with the admission of Louisiana as a slave state), the number of free and slave states were equal, and states were usually admitted in pairs at most a year or two apart: Indiana (free) in 1816 and Mississippi (slave) in 1817, Illinois (free) in 1818 and Alabama (slave) in 1819, and so on.This continued up until 1850, when California was admitted as a free state (though one of California's two senators was pro-slavery, which meant that anti- and pro- slavery representation in the Senate was still balanced). Minnesota (free, 1858) gave the free states a majority, which was not counterbalanced by the addition of a slave state... Oregon (free, 1859) exacerbated the "problem". Kansas (admitted as a free state in 1861 after a series of bitter armed conflicts between pro and anti slavery forces known as "Bleeding Kansas") disrupted the balance even further, but by then the US Civil War (which started just three months later) was essentially inevitable anyway.
