The Missouri Compromise of 1820 had a significant impact on Congress by highlighting and deepening the sectional divide between the North and South over the issue of slavery. It allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine was admitted as a free state, maintaining a balance between free and slave states. However, it set a precedent for future conflicts over the expansion of slavery, ultimately leading to increased tensions and contributing to the conditions that would spark the Civil War. The compromise illustrated the challenges Congress faced in trying to maintain unity in a nation increasingly divided by regional interests.

It allowed the territory of Missouri to join the USA as a slave-state.
There was no Civil War while the Missouri Compromise was in force. It kept the peace for thirty years. It was the debate over the admission of California, following the Mexican War, that made the Missouri Compromise inoperable (because the new state extended so far on either side of the line) and a new Compromise had to be worked out. This one did not last.
It preserved a nation that was half free and half slave.
Abraham Lincoln was beginning to lose interest in politics until the Missouri Compromise, a compromise between pro-slave and anti-slave factions, was repealed. He became aroused to make an impact on society based on that.

Well, honey, the Dred Scott case was a hot mess. It ended with the Supreme Court ruling that Dred Scott, a slave, couldn't sue for his freedom because he was considered property. And as for the Missouri Compromise, that bad boy got thrown out the window like yesterday's trash because the court said Congress couldn't ban slavery in the territories. So, in short, Dred Scott stayed a slave and the Compromise got a one-way ticket to the history books.
