Missouri Compromise Map. (Missouri Compromise 1820 Map) An Act to authorize the people of the Missouri territory to form a constitution and state government, and for the admission of such state into the Union on an equal footing with the original states, and to prohibit slavery in certain territories.
The Missouri Compromise was an agreement between the North and the  South and passed by Congress in 1820 that allowed Missouri to be  admitted as the 24th state in 1821. One â¦ slave state (Missouri) and  one free state (Maine) were admitted to the Union, maintaining the  balance.  So the Compromise set a bunch of rules about slavery, but the big  thing it did was it separated Maine from Massachusetts and allowed  it to become a free state. Missouri was allowed to become a slave  state.
