Answer:
It allowed slavery in Missouri and Western territories South of 36-30 line.
Step-by-step explanation:
The compromise divided the lands of the Louisiana Purchase into two parts. Slavery would be allowed south of latitude 36 degrees 30'. But north of that line, slavery would be forbidden, except in the new state of Missouri. This legislation admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a non-slave state at the same time, so as not to upset the balance between slave and free states in the nation. It also outlawed slavery above the 36º 30' latitude line in the remainder of the Louisiana Territory. It was decided Missouri entered as a slave state and Maine entered as a free state and all states North of the 36th parallel were free states and all South were slave states. The Missouri Compromise allowed for the expansion of slavery beyond the Mississippi River. It prevented the slide into civil war for the time, but did not ultimately resolve the question of slavery in the United States.
