Based on the map, why might some Southerners feel the Missouri Compromise favored the North? (1 point)
There was foreign threat south of the line
There was less farm land south of the line
There was more territory north of the line
There was more fresh water north of the line
There was more territory north of the line, as the compromise allowed for the admission of Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state, maintaining the balance between free and slave states, but also prohibited slavery in territories north of the 36°30′ parallel. This could be seen as favoring the North as it limited the expansion of slavery into new territories, which some Southerners may have perceived as restricting their economic and political power.
