The Missouri Compromise basically gave the pro-slaver states Missouri, and gave the non- slavery states Maine. This Compromise also enacted the 36-30 (36 Degrees North- 30 minutes) which made all states that entered the Union south of that line pro- slavery. This worked until they got to California, which the refused to split into two separate states. The working out of this can be found in the Compromise of 1850.
