Because of a spike in population, Nebraska joined the Union as the 37th state on March 1, 1867, shortly after the American Civil War. President Andrew Johnson tried to veto it, but Congress overturned the veto. Nebraska had raised over 3,000 soldiers to fight in the Civil War. The controversy is that the Nebraska Constitution said that only white males were to have sufferage but Congress said that Nebraska could be admitted if suffrage was "not denied to nonwhite voters."

Maine
The states that came in were MISSOURI and MAINE. Missouri as a slaveholding state and Maine as a free state =]
Missouri. Maine and Missouri came into the union together under the Missouri Compromise.
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Henry Clay, who came from the boarder state of Kentucky, mediated between the North and the South, concerning the territory of Missouri becoming a state. From the Missouri Compromise, that became law in March of 1820: Missouri became a slave state, and Maine would enter as a free state. In addition, the territory that remained from the Louisiana Purchase was divided in two along the line 36 degrees 30 minutes latitude. With the exception of Missouri, slavery was prohibited in states north of that line.
As most people do not just happen to have a copy of the American Journey History Textbook sitting on their bookshelf, I found this answer to be rather useless. The three provisions of the Missouri Compromise are: 1.) Missouri came in as a slave state. 2.) Maine came in as a free state. 3.) Slavery was banned in territories north of the Mason Dixon line.

It lost the state of Missouri to the Slave-owners, though when it came to the Civil War, Missouri narrowly voted to stay loyal.
Under the Missouri Compromise of 1820 Missouri was admitted as a slave state and Maine as a free state.
That was the line of the Missouri Compromise - the parallel that marked Missouri's Southern border. It worked well, and kept the peace for thirty years. Unfortunately, it only related to the territories acquired under the Louisiana Purchase. When the vast new lands acquired from Mexico came up for statehood, Congress had to repeal the Missouri Compromise, and work out a new one. This one didn't last, and the nation started sliding towards civil war.
The Misouri Compromise of 1820 delayed the Civil War for a generation. It was undone by the Compromise of 1850, and barely ten years after the end of the Missouri Compromise disunion and war came.
Thirty years of peace. Only when the new territories acquired from Mexico (especially California) came up for statehood did it prove unworkable.
It prohibited slavery North of a certain parallel, but only in the territories brought in under the Louisiana Purchase. When the new Mexican territories came in, they needed a new compromise. That one did not hold.
