Which group of americans preferred the missouri compromise and why

The North

Missouri Compromise became the first compromise in America between the states favouring slavery and those opposing slavery. The Missouri Compromise established Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. The South economy based on agriculture, and for that, southerners needed slaves in the plantations. The agreement stopped the spread of slavery in the north, which they wanted because they opposed slavery.                                                                

they were the direct result of some cultural difussion.
