Missouri's application for statehood in 1819 raised the issue of whether slavery should be allowed in the new state, leading to fierce debates in Congress about the balance of power between free and slave states. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 emerged as a temporary resolution, allowing Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, and prohibiting slavery in the unorganized territories north of the 36°30’ parallel.
According to the fugitive slave laws a slave was not automatically free if he/she escaped to a slave free state. If a slave was caught in a free state, the people were obligated to hold them for the slave chasers. Not many people obeyed this rule, though.
California's application for statehood as a free state in 1850 upset the delicate balance between free and slave states in the US Senate, leading to tensions over the expansion of slavery. This crisis ultimately culminated in the Compromise of 1850, which included provisions such as the Fugitive Slave Act and popular sovereignty in new territories to address the issue of slavery.
A free state allowed slavery, while a slave state permitted slavery. This distinction was crucial during the time leading up to the American Civil War, as it highlighted the division between states that supported slavery and those that opposed it.
