After the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Senate was balanced with 12 free states and 12 slave states, each having two senators. This compromise allowed Missouri to enter as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, maintaining the equilibrium. Thus, each region—free and slave—had an equal representation of 24 senators in total.

In 1818 the slave states held most seats in the senate?
In 1818, the balance of power in the U.S. Senate favored slave states, as they held a majority of the seats. This was a reflection of the political compromise and tensions surrounding slavery at the time, particularly following the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which sought to maintain an equilibrium between slave and free states. The dominance of slave states in the Senate allowed them to influence legislation and protect their interests, contributing to the sectional divides that would eventually lead to the Civil War.
