Answer:Some new territories went both above and below the line of compromise.
Explanation:
The Missouri Compromise divided Northern and Southern states on the slaves issue. The compromised passed as law in 1820, it forbade slavery in Louisiana and it considered Missouri as a slave state. Anything north the 36/30 parallel was considered slave free.
However, since the state of Missouri was considered a slave state, the South had one state more than the North and it was considered that the slave states had more power, because a slave counted as 3/5 of a person.
