The Missouri Compromise was created primarily due to the major differences between the North and the South, which caused sectionalism in the United States. The conflicting interests and values of these regions regarding slavery and its expansion into new territories led to tensions and disputes in Congress. The compromise aimed to manage these differences by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while also establishing a line (the 36°30' parallel) to determine the future status of slavery in the territories acquired through the Louisiana Purchase. This was an attempt to maintain a balance of power between slave and free states in the Senate and quell rising tensions over the issue of slavery.
