Since the Missouri Comprise= "1820, admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. The area north of 36°30' (except Missouri) was closed to slavery. Neither North or South were displeased or completely satisfied, which showed how much power played a big role at the time. This did not resolve the embitterment over slave and free states, foreshadowing future conflicts." The comprise was successful because by 1820, this compromise realized that not one, but, two bills were passed! The first, made Maine the 23rd state. The second, admitted Missouri as a slave state and set the parallel 36°30' as the dividing line between enslaved and free states as the country continued to expand. This is my answer and I hope that you can accept it. God bless you, and have a nice day!
