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 in Congress that came from a "slave state". Up to that point, Congress was split evenly between "slave" and "free" members. Both sides were afraid that if the other side became larger, that side would be able to pass pro- or anti-slavery laws that they didn't like. So the compromise was that Missouri could become a "slave state" and that Maine, which was part of Massachusetts at the time, would be split off and become its own "free state", thereby keeping Congress split evenly between "free" and "slave". The agreement also limited where new "slave states" could be- it drew an imaginary line across the continent at the 36th parallel, and any subsequent new "slave states" couldn't be north of it.
