It would upset the balance between the slave and free states in the Senate. By Paul A Rivera
California's application for statehood caused an uproar because it was applying as a non-slave state. The slave states and non-slave states avoided conflict by always having an equal amount of slave and non-slave states, however, California would upset this balance. This gave the South an uneasy feeling.
The main purposes of both Missouri Compromises, 1820 & 1850 was to keep in balance free States & slave States. This would be handled before they became States. Or if necessary after Statehood.
To achieve statehood, Missouri had to allow slavery. This was the Compromise of 1820. The other part of that compromise was that Maine entered the Union as a free state. To keep the number of slave states and free states equal, prevented the Civil War from happening sooner.

California's application for statehood caused a crisis because their admission to the Union would have disturbed the balance between states that were slave states and states that were free. California was granted statehood on September 9, 1850.
One issue that was NOT a problem with Missouri's application for statehood in 1820 was its economic viability. Missouri had a strong agricultural economy and abundant resources, which made it a suitable candidate for statehood. The primary concerns surrounding its application revolved around the contentious debate over slavery, particularly whether it would enter as a free or slave state, and the implications for the balance of power between free and slave states in Congress.
it caused slavery to expand in to the north.
Missouri's application for statehood in 1819 raised the issue of whether slavery should be allowed in the new state, leading to fierce debates in Congress about the balance of power between free and slave states. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 emerged as a temporary resolution, allowing Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, and prohibiting slavery in the unorganized territories north of the 36°30’ parallel.
There were 31 states when Minnesota got its statehood, making it the 32nd.
Because it would upset the balance between free-states and slave-states, and went through the 36° 30' line, from the Missouri Compromise of 1820, thus it could not be solved easily.
