Southern whites felt threatened by the Missouri Compromise because it established a line that limited the expansion of slavery into new territories and states. They feared that this restriction would set a precedent for the gradual abolition of slavery, undermining their economic interests and social order. Additionally, the admission of Missouri as a slave state alongside Maine as a free state heightened concerns about maintaining a balance of power in Congress, which they believed was essential to protect their way of life.
