Northern and southern states
The slave-owning states (South) and the Union (North).
Northern and southern states
The Missouri Compromise basically gave the pro-slaver states Missouri, and gave the non- slavery states Maine. This Compromise also enacted the 36-30 (36 Degrees North- 30 minutes) which made all states that entered the Union south of that line pro- slavery. This worked until they got to California, which the refused to split into two separate states. The working out of this can be found in the Compromise of 1850.
The ageing Thomas Jefferson thought it was only a superficial solution, and that it would one day split the nation in two.
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Maine to be admitted to the Union as a slave state. This was to counter balance having Missouri enter the Union as a slave state. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Maine to enter the US as a free state and allow Missouri to enter as a slave state.
Good Question but Missouri was not officially a slave state during the Civil War it is classified as a border state and as such was not committed to either side. Though the entire state was ravaged by the War it was evenly split down the middle the North of the State traditionally supported the Northern cause of freedom and the Southern part of the state traditionally supported the Southern way of life and as such was a supporter of slavery.
It admitted Maine, the northern region of what was then Massachusetts, into the Union as a separate (free) state. The reason this was done was to balance the number of "slave states" and "free states." This only occurred as a result of a compromise involving slavery in Missouri, and in the federal territories of the American west.

Alright, listen up! The Missouri Compromise of 1820 drew a line at 36°30' to determine slave and free states, while the Compromise of 1850 allowed California to enter as a free state and included a stricter Fugitive Slave Law. So basically, one drew a line in the sand, and the other tried to clean up a mess with a stricter law. Got it? Good.
