The Missouri Compromise, enacted in 1820, established a line across the Louisiana Territory, allowing Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state to maintain the balance of power between slave and free states. It prohibited slavery in the remaining Louisiana Territory north of the 36°30′ parallel, except for Missouri. This compromise aimed to address the growing sectional tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery.
