The slave trade was so important because it strengthened the british empire. the country producing sugar traded their sugar with us and we traded whatever they wanted from britian to them. Sugar was in demand and so the slave trade was important to keep on getting that sugar. This was also the case for crops etc.
Slaves have been bought and sold for thousands of years. Today there are still slaves. They are taken in war, for purposes of tribal or ethnic cleansing and sold into the sex trade.
The northern states did want Missouri admitted to the union as a slave state so as to balance the free slave trade.
