Detailed explanation-1: -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 This provision held for 34 years, until it was repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.
Detailed explanation-2: -In February 1820, the Senate added a second part to the joint statehood bill: With the exception of Missouri, slavery would be banned in all of the former Louisiana Purchase lands north of the 36º 30’ latitude, which ran along Missouri’s southern border.
Detailed explanation-3: -Seeking a way to settle the dispute and prevent disunion, Speaker Clay promoted a compromise to allow slavery in Missouri while simultaneously admitting Maine as a free state.
Detailed explanation-4: -The compromise divided the lands of the Louisiana Purchase into two parts. Slavery would be allowed south of latitude 36 degrees 30’. But north of that line, slavery would be forbidden, except in the new state of Missouri.
