The Missouri Compromise was a deal to keep the north and south slave states balanced between the north and south. The problem was since Maine was a free state there was a problem with Missouri since it was right on the border with part going through the border so the government pronounced Missouri as a slave state which evened the number out between slave and free states

The Missouri Compromise was pretty much the deal that made the civil war evened out, since Maine was classified as a free state, so it kind of makes since that the Missouri became a slave state. Even though Missouri was supposed to be a free state due to latitude, but when you're basically in war, I highly doubt you are going to care about your enemies feelings. Don't get me wrong slavery was bad, but the slave states didn't see slavery as bad. So this is how the Missouri Compromise preserved balance between the North and South just like Star Wars.

The Missouri Compromise preserved balance between North and South because when Maine was applying for statehood it was now included in the conversation of whether or not Missouri should be a slave or free state. So they decided to make Maine a free state and Missouri a slave state. Which made North and South balanced because their was still an even amount of slave and free states.

First of all the South wanted Missouri to be a slave state and the North wanted Missouri to be a free state so what the Missouri compromise did was that since Maryland was coming to statehood they decided that Missouri is going to be a slave state, Maryland was going to be a free state, and the bottom part of Missouri was where slavery would be banned the section of the remaining part of the louisiana territory north of the coordinate plane of 36, 30 North parrallel.

The Missouri Compromise did a poor job at preserving the balance between the North and the South. If this imaginary line that ran through the US and along the states were to be followed Missouri should have been a free state, but it was not. Maryland came in at this time as well. Since Maryland was in the north it was to be a free state. If Missouri also came in as a free state then that would offset the balance of free and slave states. After the Missouri Compromise, the amount of slave states to the free states was 1-1. But this compromise destroyed the concept of that imaginary slave state/free state line.

In the Missouri Compromise, Missouri was supposed to be a free state like every other state on above that line but Missouri came in as a slave state and made the other states mad because the line was going 36'30N parallel and Missouri plus other states were supposed to free states according to the compromise but that didn't happen. The Louisiana Territory was supposed to be all free and have no slavery but then Missouri messed that up.
