The South viewed the Missouri Compromise with apprehension, as it was seen as a political maneuver that limited the expansion of slavery into new territories. Southern states were concerned that the balance of power between free and slave states was being threatened, as the compromise admitted Missouri as a slave state while designating certain territories north of the 36°30′ latitude line as free. This restriction fueled fears of a growing abolitionist sentiment and increased tensions between the North and South, ultimately contributing to the sectional divide leading up to the Civil War.
The Northern states were opposed to the Missouri Compromise of 1820. They felt Missouri should not be a slave state as it would give the South more power.

South ofthat line, slavery was allowed. But it only applied to the territories acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. When the USA acquired vast new lands from Mexico in 1847, a new compromise had to be worked out, in view of the Wilmot Proviso, which declared that no slavery should be allowed in any of these new territories.
the south did not like it. states like New York and the border of Missouri were hostile to the north.
They were wanting to survive it.
They didn't like it, because it banned slavery North of a certain line. But at least it was a clear 'line in the sand'. Both sides disliked it equally. Oddly enough, this kept the balance, and it kept the peace for thirty years.
The north disliked it and prohibited it and the south liked it and allowed it.
There were two Missouri Compromises. One in 1820 and the second one in 1850. What it mainly revealed was that compromises were and still are the framework in which legislation is passed between opposing points of view.
An unexpected ruling about the Constitution and its view of slavery. The court reckoned that when the Founding Fathers declared that a man's property was sacred, they would have included slaves within their definition of property. If so, then slavery must be legal in every state of the Union. This judgment drove the two sides further apart than ever.
It depends on ones point of view. South Carolina is a wonderful place.
