feb 16, 1820 - Missouri Compromise 36°30′

Description:

The Missouri Compromise was an effort by Congress to defuse the sectional and political rivalries triggered by the request of Missouri late in 1819 for admission as a state in which slavery would be permitted. At the time, the United States contained twenty-two states, evenly divided between slave and free.

Missouri is slave, Maine is free
