Missouri would upset the balance between the equal number of slave states and free states.

Explanation:

  • Missouri controversy began in 1820 when it entered under the Union.
  • The South being based on agriculture economy supported slavery. The South wanted Missouri to join as a slave state.
  • Missouri joining as non-slave state helped in the balance between the south and north states by changing Maine as a free state, Missouri as a slave state.
