Good question! The North benefited from the Missouri Compromise, because they received another state in the North (Maine) that did not allow slavery (because the North didn't like slavery.) The South benefited from the Missouri Compromise, because they received another southern state (Missouri) that was capable of having slaves. This way, both the North and the South had an equal amount of 12 Northern states and 12 Southern states.
