Missouri
The United States acquired Missouri from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, but the question of whether to admit the pro-slavery territory into the union played into the highly charged national debate between slavery supporters in the South and abolitionists in the North. In 1820, legislators finally agreed to the Missouri Compromise that recognized Missouri as the 24th state and established Maine as a new, slave-free state to maintain the precarious North-South balance.
