Best Answer

The Missouri Compromise was Missouri (South) and Maine (North) wanting to come into the United States union, government didn't know if they both should be slave states or free states. An idea proposed by Henry Clay stated that Maine should be a free state, so Missouri should be a slave state. This achieved that any new state that wanted to become apart of the union above the 36'30 latitude are free states, then anything below the latitude are slave states.
