They did not agree to the Missouri Compromise. They were just out voted by the north.

-------------

The South allowed so much territory to be free states because they did not believe that there would be any more state made out of that territory because they thought of it as not settleable... so not many people would want to go there. Because there was a population requirement to request statehood, they thought that there would not be any more free states carved out of the "free" territory. (I know... a bit repetitious...) Hope this helps.
