The State of MissouriThe slave state of Missouri applied for statehood. (Admitting Missouri would upset the balance between slave states and free states.)

Missouri CompromiseAfter a great deal of debate, Congress adopted the Missouri Compromise.
Missouri would join the Union as a slave state, and Maine joined as a free state.
Slavery would not be allowed north of the 36° 20´ line of latitude.
This compromise kept a balance of power between the free states and slave states in the Senate and provided a temporary solution to the slavery question.

Dred Scott Decision (1857)a Supreme Court decision adds fuel to the fire...
• Dred Scott was a Missouri slave.
• He sued for his freedom because he had lived for a period of time with his master in the free state of Illinois and free territory of Wisconsin.
• The Supreme Court said Scott could not sue because he was a slave, and slaves were not citizens.
