MO Compromise

Explanation:

The Missouri compromise was a piece of legislation that stated any state above the 36/30 Parallel was a free state. Since the addition of Missouri, the number of slave states outnumbered the number of free states. So they carved Maine out of Massachusetts to create a balance of equal free and slave states.
