The crisis over Missouri Compromise exposed the divisions of the  country on the contentious issue of slavery. The line that  literally divided the territories that would beâ¦come states put the  Union into a precarious balance that could easily tip in favor of  the slave states.
What does the Missouri compromise have to do with slavery? Missouri wanted to become a state in the US, but wanted slavery to be legal there. If they did so, it meant that there would be 2 more senators and then more representatives iâ¦n Congress that came from a slave state. Up to that point, Congress was split evenly between slave and free members.
