Missouri & Maine. APEX.
Missouri. Maine and Missouri came into the union together under the Missouri Compromise.
True. Maine would be admitted as a free state and Missouri as a slave state, maintaining the balance between free and slave states in the Senate.
The Missouri Compromise was not 1850 but 1820. It settled the issue of slavery in the new territories acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase. The Compromise of 1850 was also to do with slavery/freedom in new territories, this time the ones acquired from Mexico.
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.
