Answer 2

Based on the map, some southerners might feel that the Missouri Compromise favored the north because there was more territory north of the line. The compromise allowed for the admission of Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state, but it also prohibited slavery in the Louisiana Territory north of the 36°30' parallel. This meant that as more territory was acquired by the United States, it would be added to the northern free states rather than the southern slave states. Therefore, southerners might argue that the compromise limited their ability to expand slavery into new territories and favored the north in terms of territorial expansion.

Answer 3

There was more territory north of the line.
