Question

Describe the disagreement between the north and south that resulted in the missouri compromise

Answer 1

The correct answer is that the North and South disagreed over how to admit States into the Union if their status as a slave holding or free state were needed to be determined at the outset.

On March 6, 1820, President James Monroe signed the Missouri Compromise which admitted Maine into the Union as a Free State and Missouri into the Union as a slave state.
