The Missouri Compromise was an agreement made in 1820 by the Northern and Southern states that preserved slavery below the 36 30 N latitude line but banned slavery above it. It was created because Maine wanted to become a free state in the North, but that would've upset the free-slave state balance in the Senate so Missouri entered as a slave state at the same time. It was also declared unconstitutional by Chief Justice Roger Taney in the Dred Scott v. Sanford decision, causing abolitionists to become enraged. The Missouri Compromise was significant because it was a temporary solution to the disagreement over slavery, putting off a real solution until even later.
