The name for the compromise proposed by Henry Clay for the admission of Missouri to the United States was the Missouri Compromise. It said that Missouri would be admitted as a slave state and Maine as a free state. It kept the balance of power in the Senate between the slave states and free states. It also called for slavery to be banned from the Louisiana Territory north of the parallel 36˚ 30', Missouri's southern border.
