The Missouri Compromise was a significant legislative agreement reached in 1820 that allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state and Maine as a free state, maintaining the balance between free and slave states in Congress. It also established a boundary line (the 36°30' parallel) across the Louisiana Territory, north of which slavery was prohibited (with the exception of Missouri) and south of which it was permitted.
The impact of the Missouri Compromise on the United States included temporarily easing tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery, but it ultimately highlighted the growing divisions within the nation. It set a precedent for future territorial expansion and debates over the status of slavery in new states, which would later contribute to conflicts leading up to the Civil War.
