Missouri Compromise (1820) and Resource Materials

This is a facsimile of the 1820 Missouri Compromise, which admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state so as not to upset the delicate balance between slave and free states; it also outlawed slavery above the 36º 30´ latitude line in the remainder of the Louisiana Territory.
