The Compromises Questions and Answers Already Passed
What were the various views on slavery in the west? The majority of states in the north wanted to be free states while the states in the south wanted to continue to have slavery. Everyone wanted the number of free states to be the same as the number of slave states. When Missouri became a state, it threw off the equality, so a line was made, 36'30, which was used to say that the states above the 36'30 would be called free states and states below the line would be slave states, where slave trading was allowed. These were the various views on slavery. What was the goal of the free soil party?
