Question

what state was admitted as a slave state because of the missouri compromise?

Answer 1

Missouri was the state admitted as a slave state as part of the Missouri Compromise, which was enacted in 1820. This compromise allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine was admitted as a free state, maintaining a balance between slave and free states in the Senate. The compromise also established a line (the 36°30' parallel) north of which slavery was prohibited in the Louisiana Territory, except for Missouri.
