Today on the AskHistorians podcast, I'm joined by ante-bellum slavery expert, moderator and contributor extroardinaire Pat (u/freedmenspatrol), to discuss the Missouri Compromise of 1820. In this episode we look at the nature of slavery in the United States in the early 1800s, the explosive tension between pro- and anti-slavery advocates, and ...
The compromise did not fundamentally solve the debate over slavery and representation. As others noted it, it was, at best, a maintenance of the status quo with regard to that issue. It demonstrates the lack of progress on the subject going all the way back to the constitutional convention.
Why did the Missouri Compromise End? Having equal slave and free states was the largest factor in keeping the South content with the union. Why did congress feel the need to add California as a free state in 1850, nonetheless without adding a slave state to go with it?

The Missouri Compromise. Chief Justice Taney didn't stop there, though. The next step was to declare the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional. Essentially, it turned on what power the Federal government had to regulate the territories of the United States. One answer is relatively straight-forward.
In 1820 the Missouri compromise was agreed that stipulated states above the 36.5 parallel excluding Missouri would be free states while those below this line would be slave trading states. Given this why was California entered into the Union unpartitioned and free in seeming breach of the 1820 agreement?
The Missouri Compromise forbade slavery north of 36'30" N in any new states formed from what was the former Louisiana Territory, not in existing states. The chance of any ordinance banning slavery in states where it already existed was less than zero.
