The South’s economy depended on black slavery, and for 200 years of living with slavery it had become an important part of southern life and culture. The South required the North to recognise its right to have slaves; they were against restrictions on slavery. Since the Revolution when the United States had emerged, by 1820 the country had grown from 13 to 22 states. Before the agreement of 1820 the balance of power between slave southern and free northern states had been maintained by Congress. There were 11 free states and 11 slave states, the situation in the Senate was not critical because each state was represented by 2 persons. But the free states, with their much larger populations, controlled the House of Representatives, 105 seats to 81. When Missouri, a slave state, asked for admission to the United States, the Senate was balanced between eleven slave and eleven free states, though in the House of Representatives the slave states had less than 45 per cent of the seats. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was an agreement of Congress that regulated the spreading of slavery in the United States for the next 30 years. Under the agreement the territory of Missouri became part of the USA as a slave state, the territory of Maine became part of the USA as a free state, and the borders of slavery were limited to the same line as the southern border of Missouri. Three years later the Missouri Compromise was declared unconstitutional.
