Answer:

Proposed Missouri Compromise

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry Clay proposed the Missouri Compromise which entered Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state. He was a representative from a state that agreed with slavery (though he ended up sympathizing with abolitionists) and wanted to make everyone happy. As well the parallel 36'30 was the split. Slavery was banned above it in the compromise, excluding Missouri. :)
