Both Maine and Missouri were in the same position. They could not gain entrance to the union without the other. At the time, whenever a free state entered the union, a slave state had to enter also. So admitting Maine, meant admitting Missouri.

Under the Missouri Compromise of 1820 Missouri was admitted as a slave state and Maine as a free state.
