How did the wilmot proviso and The Missouri Compromise influence the spread of slavery?

The Wilmot Proviso and the Missouri Compromise were pivotal in shaping the national debate over slavery. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Missouri to enter as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, maintaining a balance between free and slave states but also setting a precedent for future territorial expansion. In contrast, the Wilmot Proviso of 1846 aimed to ban slavery in territories acquired from Mexico, heightening tensions between the North and South. Together, these measures illustrated the deepening divisions over slavery and influenced the political landscape leading up to the Civil War.
