Missouri's path to statehood was marked by significant issues, primarily the debate over slavery. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was crucial, as it allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while simultaneously admitting Maine as a free state to maintain the balance between free and slave states. Additionally, the compromise established a geographic boundary (the 36°30' parallel) north of which slavery was prohibited, addressing tensions between pro- and anti-slavery factions. These negotiations were essential in resolving the conflicting interests and paving the way for Missouri's admission as a state in 1821.
