A little background history:    In 1820, Maine was a part of Massachusetts, even though New  Hampshire is in between them.    Missouri was trying to become a st â¦ ate, but wanted to be a slave  state- that is, a state that allowed slavery.  So the Compromise set a bunch of rules about slavery, but the big  thing it did was it separated Maine from Massachusetts and allowed  it to become a free state. Missouri was allowed to become a slave  state.
