To preserve a balance between and states, Congress enacted the Missouri Compromise, which allowed slavery to expand the state of Main alongside the state of Missouri but not in the rest of the Louisiana Territory.

The Missouri Compromise was a piece of federal legislation in the United States that struck a balance between northern states' aspirations to stop the spread of slavery in the nation and southern states' desires to do so.

Between July 4, 1805, and June 4, 1812, when it was renamed the Missouri Territory, the Territory of Louisiana or Louisiana Territory was an organised, incorporated territory of the United States. By a vote of 24 to 20, the Senate first approved an amendment that forbade slavery in the Louisiana Territory north of the 36° 30' latitude line, with the exception of Missouri.
