Maine had to agree to enter the Union at the same time as Missouri to maintain the balance between free and slave states. The admission of Missouri as a slave state threatened to disrupt this balance, which was crucial for preserving peace between the North and South. By allowing Maine to enter as a free state simultaneously, Congress aimed to ensure that the number of free and slave states remained equal, thus averting potential conflict over the issue of slavery. This compromise was part of the Missouri Compromise of 1820.
