Answer:
the Missouri compromise admitted Maine to the united states as a free state and admitted Missouri into the united states as a slave state.
Explanation:
The balance was kept between slave states and free states by adding one state to either side. Missouri was gained from the Louisiana Purchase and decided they wanted to be a slave state. As a compromise, to keep things even, Maine would be a free state. This compromise also is when the US decided to ban slavery in the remainder of the states gained due to the Louisiana Purchase. hope this helped! if you can, please mark me Brainliest :)
