Missouri was not added to the union in 1818 primarily due to the contentious debate over the expansion of slavery. The proposal to admit Missouri as a slave state sparked significant opposition from northern lawmakers, which led to a national crisis regarding the balance of free and slave states. This conflict ultimately resulted in the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which allowed Missouri to enter as a slave state while Maine was admitted as a free state, maintaining the balance in Congress.

In a nutshell: Present-day Missouri was once part of the Missouri Territory. The eastern and southern borders of today's Missouri coincided with those of the Missouri Territory. In 1818, Missouri requested admittance to the Union, and the northern and western borders were drawn at pre-selected lines of latitude and longitude. At the time, present-day northwestern Missouri was not included in the state's borders. Then, the Platte Purchase of 1836 added the northwestern area to the state.
