Was Missouri a Northern or Southern State during the US Civil War?
Southern state.
The Missouri Compromise ended slavery in the South?
No - in the North. It banned slavery anywhere North of the parallel that marked Missouri's Southern border. This was a successful compromise which kept the peace for thirty years.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of The Missouri Compromise?
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.
Did The Missouri Compromise cause the southern states to leave the union?
No. The Compromise allowed the Missouri territory to join the USA as a slave-state. The condition was that there should be no more new slave-states North of the parallel that marked Missouri's Southern border. This represented a clear 'line in the sand' that kept the peace for thirty years, until the admission of California made the Compromise inoperable.
Did Missouri want to enter the union as a free state?
No. The Missouri Compromise allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave-state, on condition that there would be no more slave-states North of the parallel that marked Missouri's Southern border.
