If Missouri had joined the Union as a slave state in 1818, it would have intensified the sectional conflict between the North and South. This could have accelerated the debates over slavery in new territories and potentially led to earlier divisions within the country. The balance between free and slave states would have been disrupted, possibly prompting more aggressive stances from both sides, contributing to the eventual tensions leading up to the Civil War.
