Could you give my any information about the "Missouri Compromise,
1820" and any book about the Missouri Compromise?

Hello Tracy_0224,

Thank you for your question.


Missouri Compromise (1820)

“With the purchase of the Louisiana Territory and the application of
Missouri for statehood, the long-standing balance between the number
of slave states and the number of free states would be changed.
Controversy arose within Congress over the issue of slavery.

Congress adopted this legislation and admitted Missouri as a slave
state and Maine as a non-slave state at the same time, so that the
balance between slave and free states in the nation would remain
equal. The Missouri compromise also proposed that slavery be
prohibited above the 36º 30´ latitude line in the remainder of the
Louisiana Territory. This provision held for 34 years, until it was
repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.”
