Congressmen from the South generally opposed the Missouri Compromise, viewing it as a threat to the institution of slavery. They were particularly concerned about the restriction of slavery in new territories, which they believed undermined their economic interests and political power. Southern legislators argued that the compromise set a dangerous precedent for limiting slavery's expansion, fearing it would lead to increased abolitionist sentiment and jeopardize their way of life. Overall, Southern opposition reflected their commitment to maintaining and expanding slavery as an integral part of their society and economy.
