What was the compromise in The Missouri Compromise?
This was meant to settle the question of slavery in the Western territories that were applying to become states of the Union. It was agreed to draw one line of latitude, North of which slavery would be illegal. The line was the Southern border of Missouri. The Compromise worked well enough for thirty years, until after the Mexican war, when the future of California was being debated. The new state would extend so far either side of the Missouri line that both sides claimed it. So the Compromise broke down, and had to be replaced by another which did not last. It has often been commented that if there could have been two states, Northern California and Southern California, meeting on the Missouri line, the Civil War could have been avoided.
What were three compromises that the founders agreed to on slavery?
Democracy is a series of compromises. The three most important compromises that pertain to slavery and territory are: the Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 admitted Missouri into the union as a slave state and admitted Maine as a free one. It is also stated that any land in the Lousiana Purchase, south of the latitude 36 degrees thirty was open to slavery; and slavery was prohibited in any territory north of the specified latitude. The Compromise of 1850 was proposed by Henry Clay to deal with the issue of slavery in the lands acquired from Mexico from the Mexican war. The compromise proposed admitting California into the union as a free state, prohibiting slave trade in the District of Columbia, enforcing a strong fugitive slave law, and admitting the the enlarged New Mexican territory on the basis of popular sovereignty. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 repealed the Missouri compromise declaring it unconsitutional because it violated the Fifth Amendment, or the right to property. This act also proposed to apply popular sovereignty to Kansas and Nebraska.

What are the fugitives described in the Fugitive Slave Act?
As part of the Missouri Compromise of 1850, a law was passed that was part of the deal that satisfied slave owners and enabled the Missouri Compromise to be passed. This was the infamous Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Under this act, any escaped slaves had to be returned to their owners. Various bounties were awarded to those people who were engaged in returning escaped slaves. Many Northern governments did not fully enforce this law as many, if not all states in the North had abolished slavery. The problem was that it was against the law to not comply. In order to keep the Union whole, President -elect Lincoln agreed to enforced the law, although he personally hated slavery.
