Henry Clay
In 1840 Illinois was a free state. It was only after a bill passed known as The Compromise of 1850 that cessation and Civil War were avoided. Those drafting the Compromise were Stephen Douglas and Henry Clay.
Henry Clay, known as the Great Pacificator, played a significant role in several key compromises in Congress, notably the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise of 1850. The Missouri Compromise addressed the balance of slave and free states, while the Compromise of 1850 aimed to ease tensions over slavery in newly acquired territories. His efforts in these agreements were crucial in temporarily alleviating sectional conflicts in the United States.
