The admission of Missouri and Maine as free and slave states was the immediate impact of the Compromise.  But more important long term was its establishment of a standard for further expansion of slavery.  The Compromise drew a line from the southern border of Missouri and said that in new states above this line, slavery would be illegal, in one's below the line slavery would be legal.
