The Missouri compromise was a argument when Missouri wanted to become a state where if it was their would be an uneven amount of either slave or free states. As a result they added Missouri as a slave state and then added Maine as a new free state, and they would also add a line on the southern border of Missouri where anything under it would be added as a slave state and anything above it would be added as a free state. That would also lead to further conflict.

This act was when the government would make the people decide of they wanted to be a slave state or free state so people rushed other to the area to make it what they wanted to be and with all the arguing people started to vandalized buildings and kill people which was then named Bleeding Kansas. This would increase the arguments and battles between the north and south.
