In the year 1840 Was Illinois a slave state or a free state?
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.
How did compromises in the mid 1800's postpone armed conflict between the North and South in the US?
In the middle of the 19th century, the US was a divided nation on the issue of slavery. In 1850, a compromise between the North and the South was called the Missouri Compromise of 1850. By this compromise, the number of free states and slave states were kept in an even amount. This satisfied everyone as best a compromise can. It avoided the idea of secession by the Southern slave states.
Could secession have been avoided?
Secession could potentially have been avoided through more effective political compromise and dialogue between the North and South, particularly over contentious issues like slavery and states' rights. Initiatives like the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850 were steps in this direction, but ultimately failed to address the deep-seated divisions. Stronger leadership and a willingness to find common ground could have also mitigated tensions. However, the entrenched differences and economic interests made secession increasingly likely as the nation approached the Civil War.

Is California a north or south state?
That was the trouble. It extended so far on both sides of the Missouri line that both sides claimed it. If it had been divided into North and South California, the war might have been avoided. In the end, it was admitted to the Union as a free state - in exchange for certain concessions to the South in the Compromise of 1850. This agreement did not last, and the argument heated up steadily through the 50's, ending in war.
Could the US have avoided the Civil War by more compromises such as the Missouri Compromise?
They could have averted a war by dividing California into two States - North and South California - joining at the parallel of the Missouri Compromise. Without that, the new state of California extended so far either side of the line, that both sides claimed it. That's why the Missouri Compromise had to be abandoned in favour of a new compromise (1850) which didn't last. The final trigger that started the Civil War was Lincoln's rejecton of the last attempted compromise (Crittenden) because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.
