As new states began to form from the Louisiana Territory, a debate quickly arose over slavery in the territory. What was the northern argument in the debate? What was the southern argument? How did the Missouri Compromise resolve the issue (at least temporarily)? Be specific.

Answer:

The debate was over how to deal with the spread of slavery into the western territories. The northern part argued that slavery should be abolished while the southerners argued to expand slavery. The Missouri Compromise resolved this issue by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state both at the same time so they won't upset the balance between the free and slave states.
