Missouri Compromise prohibited slavery north of 36 degrees latitude and fueled a new abolition movement.
The Missouri Compromise was a piece of federal law in the United States that struck a compromise between the goals of the northern states to stop the spread of slavery in the nation and the southern states' ambitions to do so.
This statute simultaneously recognised Maine as a non-slave state and Missouri as a slave state in order to preserve the nation's balance between slave and free states. Slavery was also forbidden in the remaining Louisiana Territory above the 36° 30' latitude line.
