Missouri compromise...
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state, Maine as a free state, and established a boundary prohibiting slavery north of latitude 36°30' in the Louisiana Territory. However, it only temporarily appeased tensions over slavery and ultimately failed to resolve the issue, leading to further conflicts such as the Civil War.
The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln in 1863 and the passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1865 formally ended slavery in the United States, settling the issue temporarily.
