Answer:

The main issue of the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was how to deal with the spread of slavery into western territories. The compromise divided the lands of the Louisiana Purchase into two parts. Slavery would be allowed south of latitude 36 degrees 30'.

Explanation:
This 1854 map shows slave states (grey), free states (red), and U.S. territories (green) with Kansas at the center. The map represents the territorial compromise of the Kansas–Nebraska Act. A federal law passed on May 30, 1854, the act provided the framework for organizing territorial governments for what would later became the states of Kansas and Nebraska and provided that each territory would decide whether to allow slavery or not by popular vote, overturning the Missouri Compromise of 1820.
