Missouri Compromise
Abraham Lincoln did not believe that he needed to compromise with the South on the issue of expansion of slavery in the Territories. He thought that the Southern States were bluffing and would not leave the Union.
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was a compromise between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in Congress agreeing to prohibit slavery in states north of the parallel 36°30' north except in the state of Missouri. Additionally, the state of Maine was allowed to join the Union as a free state. This compromise was passed due to concerns of the creation of the state of Missouri destroying the delicate balance between slave states and free states in Congress.
Slavery was banned when the Civil war began on on April 12, 1861, at 4:30 a.m.

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state, but prohibited slavery north of the 36°30' parallel in the Louisiana Territory. This line separated free and slave territories in the territory acquired through the Louisiana Purchase.
36 degrees north and 30'
There is a 30 degrees line of latitude north of the Equator (just above the Tropic of Cancer), and a 30 degrees line of latitude south of the Equator (just below the Tropic of Capricorn). So 30 degrees latitude appears in both the Northern Hemisphere, and the Southern Hemisphere.
The law prohibiting slavery north of parallel 36 30' north was called the Missouri Compromise. This statute was a compromise agreed to by the opposing pro-slavery and anti-slavery reached in 1820 under the presidency of James Monroe.
