The Missouri Compromise created the 36th parallel in the United States, the Mason Dixon Line. The Mason Dixon line was an imaginary line that divided the North and South. Any States above this imaginary line were slave free but any states below were still able to own slaves. This compromise caused the North and South to be divided, almost as two different countries.

The Missouri Compromise made slavery illegal in much of the US, except for the state of Missouri. Some people believe that this made the Civil War erupt later than it would have without the compromise.
The Missouri compromise made Missouri a slave state and so naturally put it into the Confederate camp when the Civil War broke out. Free state Illinois is just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis so there many ties with the Union as well.
