This question comes as part of my ongoing research for my Fringe alternate universe timeline. If Louisiana was never admitted as a state (or at least its statehood delayed), how would it affect the balance of power between slave and free states in the Senate?

I'm mainly concerned about the period between 1812 and 1836, after which Arkansas joined the Union. Would the dates of admission of Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, and Alabama be shifted? How would the Missouri Compromise be changed?
