The Missouri Compromise was a landmark agreement reached in 1820 in the United States Congress that attempted to resolve the issue of slavery expansion into new territories. It was primarily concerned with the admission of Missouri into the Union as a slave state and Maine as a free state, maintaining the balance between slave and free states in the Senate.
The Missouri Compromise was a temporary solution to the issue of slavery expansion. It did not resolve the underlying tensions between the North and the South. The compromise ultimately broke down in the years leading up to the American Civil War, as new territories were acquired and debates over the expansion of slavery intensified.
