The Dred Scott Case completely nullified the Missouri Compromise. It ruled that slavery was protected under the 5th Amendment because slaves were property. The verdict was that slavery could not be outlawed in any territory.
The Missouri Compromise was the first attempt to ease the looming crisis over slavery. It effectively prevented the spread of slavery into new states but did nothing to eliminate slavery in current slave states.
Slavery in Missouri be restricted
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 allowed the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery through popular sovereignty. This led to violent conflict known as "Bleeding Kansas" as pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into the territories to sway the vote. The act effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise, which had previously restricted the spread of slavery, thus intensifying sectional tensions and contributing to the rise of the Republican Party and the eventual Civil War.
New problems about the spread of slavery came up because the Missouri compromise stated that North of the Missouri line would be free and south would be slave up to the Rocky Mountains. This would mean that America would have less slave states which would mean the South would lose power in the Senate which annoyed the South.
