    The primary concern was related to the number of congressmen from free and slave states. If Missouri was admitted into the Union as a slave state, the congress would have more Southerners than Northerners in the congress which would be bad for slaves everywhere. Northerners therefore asked that if Missouri enters as a slave state, Maine has to be separated and enter as a free state.
