It admitted Maine, the northern region of what was then Massachusetts, into the Union as a separate (free) state. The reason this was done was to balance the number of "slave states" and "free states." This only occurred as a result of a compromise involving slavery in Missouri, and in the federal territories of the American west.
An advantage to the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was that slavery would not be permitted in the territory that is now the state of Missouri. A disadvantage to the Missouri Compromise was that people who believed in slavery in the South could not move north to gain more land and keep their slaves.
Northern Gains: California was admitted a free state, slave TRADE was abolished in the District of Columbia (Washington D.C.)Southern Gains: There were no restrictions on slavery in Mexico, SLAVERY itself was not abolished in the District of Columbia, the fugitive slave law (capturing runaways) became stronger.
The Fugitive Slave Law was part of the Compromise of 1850. Its main provision required the return of runaway slaves. Their were penalties for those in northern states who aided escaped slaves.

Missouri compromise
the reason the northern states allowed slave trade to continue was so they could have laws they wanted passed to be agreed with by the southern states. within doing this, there was a compromise and the northern states agreed to it. so, the slaves we left as property to the plantation owners and northern states didn't have to return run away slaves to their owners.
The Northern States were pleased by Three-Fifths Compromise.
The compromises that the Northern and Southern states reached were the Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise.~A.K. =)
The Northern states were opposed to the Missouri Compromise of 1820. They felt Missouri should not be a slave state as it would give the South more power.
The Northern and Southern states, and the slaves
The north had some supporters of the compromise while other northerners opposed it. While the northern democrats accepted the compromise, the northern Whigs thought it to be unfair to northern territories. They especially believed that this compromise would create a problem with fugitive slaves having to force slave owning farmers to waste productive agricultural time hunting down slaves.
Basically the Missouri Compromise of 1850 was a fair compromise. One problem for Northern abolitionists was that the Compromise ushered in the Fugitive Slave Act. They were outraged that the new compromise included this law.
