No, It only was prohibited to any new states that would enter the union from that date forward. MO could not have slaves. Maryland was entered the union as a "free" state. No states that would later come into the union that initially territory within the Louisanna Purchase could not have slaves.

∙ 12y agoThe Missouri Compromise did not end slavery. The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves during the Civil War only because the president was allowed to take away land only during the war. Most slave owners either never knew about the Emancipation Proclamation, Or never told their slaves that they were free. After the Civil War, the 13th Amendment was passed, which allowed full citizenship to all slaves.

∙ 9y agoNo. The Missouri Compromise didn't end the slave trade. Importing and Exporting slaves out of the country had ended in 1808, but the internal slave trade continued, buying and selling slaves and their children. The Missouri Compromise didn't do anything about that. What it did was to draw a line and say no more slave states above this line... except Missouri who has already applied.
The slave trade continued until the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and really past that, since it wasn't actively enforced until 1865, with the end of the war and the passing of the thirteenth amendment.
And really, although that ended the legal slave trade, even now there is an illegal slave trade in the United States.

Compare and contrast the Compromise of 1850 and the Missouri Compromise of 1820?
The Compromise of 1850 can be compared to the Compromise of 1820 (Missouri Compromise), mainly by comparing how the two compromises were different and alike in how they were able to successfully appease both the North and the South on the issue of slavery. The Compromise of 1850 was designed to prevent the South from seceding, and delaying the Civil War. It was created mostly to deal with the problem on how to annex California into the Union, because the North and the South disputed over whether or not to split California into two different states, the Northern section being slave-free, and the Southern section allowing slavery. The Compromise of 1820 prohibited slavery above the line of 30o60' North, except in Missouri, therefore solving the problem of how to divide the land acquired by the Union in the Mexican War.
