"The 36°30′ line established that slavery would be prohibited in the Louisiana Purchase territory north of latitude 36°30′ (except in the state of Missouri), while slavery could be permitted south of that line."

This was part of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state to preserve the balance between slave and free states.
