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.
*There was a dispute over land: Texas claimed that its territory extended all the way to Santa Fe. *Finally, there was Washington, D.C. Not only did the nation's capital allow slavery, it was home to the largest slave market in North America. On January 29, 1850, the 70-year-old Clay presented a compromise.he balance of free and slave states would be destroyed. The Missouri Compromise seemed to solve the problem by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, keeping the number of free and slave states equal. It also divided the rest of the Louisiana Purchase into slave and free territory.
