At the time of the Missouri Compromise, there was strong disagreement between people who were pro-slavery and those who were anti-slavery. Various territories, such as Missouri, Arkansas, and Maine, were trying to become states, but there was great concern over whether the new states would be slave states or free. The compromise mapped out which land would have slaves allowed, and which would not. In effect it gave pro-slave people the right to retain slaves and extend slavery to the west, and it gave the anti-slavery people a guarantee that slavery would not be extended into the Northwest.
