In 1819, there were 11 slave states in the United States. These states were part of the contentious debate over the expansion of slavery into new territories, particularly highlighted by the Missouri Compromise of that year, which admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state to maintain the balance between free and slave states. This was a significant moment in American history as it set the stage for ongoing conflicts over slavery.
