Explanation:
By the end of the seventeenth century, the Chesapeake area and the southern colonies, with their enormous rice plantations, developed an economic system wholly dependent on slavery.

They allowed Maine to enter the Union as a slave state AND Maine as a free state.
It was more to help balance things out because they did not want to be unfair I guess. They wanted it to be equal.
