The Mason &-Dickson line
It applied to the Southern states (over which Lincoln had no authority) and not to the Northern slave states of Kentucky, Missouri and Maryland.
By 1861, it is clear that most people in the Northern non slave US States believe that slavery is immoral. By the same year many not most, of the people in the Southern States believe that slavery is not immoral.
The northern states didn't have slavery as the southern states did, and they were smaller. They were afraid that if slaves were counted as part of the population that would give the southern states an advantage when they were represented in Congress. In 1790 35% of the population in VA was slave, so that can make a difference in the balance of power between states.
The eleven "Southern" states that seceded from the Union were all "slave" states. The slave holding states of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware were termed to be "border" states and geographically, none of them can be describes as "Southern" states, especially Delaware.
The North were free states and the South were slave states.
The Mason &-Dickson line
agreeing not to end the slave trade for at least 20 years
The Northern wanted to be a new and free state with no slave labor. On the other hand the southern wanted the new states to be slaved states.
The northern states sacrifice to postpone a vote on ending the slave trade gained the southern states to aggree on the three-fiths compromise.
The fugitive slave act allowed southern slave holders to reclaim escaped slaves who had made their way to freedom in the northern states
This is due to the significant history of slave ownership in the southern states, that was not part of the culture of the northern states.
Because the southern states wished to secede on the grounds that they were fed up being pushed around by the highly populated, urbanised northern states. Slave issues. And different views on politics
That was drawn because the southern states were slave states and the northern states were not.
The Land Ordinance of 1785 was used to separate the slave states or "southern states from the non-slave states or "northern states." Hope this helped. From your friend.... Raven Xerxes.

Made it difficult to create new slave-states, so the South always got outvoted in Congress.
