as we spoke about last,, yes,, the state of Maine was created out of the old Mass. Bay Colony in 1820,, and entered the "Union" as a free state,,,Missouri then entered as a "slave" state.
Caveat,, expansion of slavery was forbidden north of ligne 36 ,,in Louisiana Purchase Territory ( southern border line of Missouri),,but this "ground" was considered unable to support traditional "slave" intensive industries..
