The reason that Missouri Compromise did not have lasting effects is that it only applied to the lands of the Louisiana Purchase. As the United States expanded westward, new territories were created outside the scope of the compromise, and there was no established framework for addressing the issue of slavery in those areas. This led to tensions and conflicts in the years leading up to the Civil War, making the Missouri Compromise a temporary solution rather than a lasting one.
