What were three compromises that the founders agreed to on slavery?
Democracy is a series of compromises. The three most important compromises that pertain to slavery and territory are: the Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 admitted Missouri into the union as a slave state and admitted Maine as a free one. It is also stated that any land in the Lousiana Purchase, south of the latitude 36 degrees thirty was open to slavery; and slavery was prohibited in any territory north of the specified latitude. The Compromise of 1850 was proposed by Henry Clay to deal with the issue of slavery in the lands acquired from Mexico from the Mexican war. The compromise proposed admitting California into the union as a free state, prohibiting slave trade in the District of Columbia, enforcing a strong fugitive slave law, and admitting the the enlarged New Mexican territory on the basis of popular sovereignty. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 repealed the Missouri compromise declaring it unconsitutional because it violated the Fifth Amendment, or the right to property. This act also proposed to apply popular sovereignty to Kansas and Nebraska.
What issues did the Compromise of 1850 settle?
The Compromise of 1850 was a series of measures adopted by the US Congress on September 9, 1850, prior to the Civil War, to address slavery and territory issues, and to stop secession by the South. Proposed largely by Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky, it included several measures to ensure a balance between free and slave states. It admitted California to the Union as a free state, and from the remaining land acquired in the Mexican War (1846-48), it established Utah and New Mexico as territories with an open status of slavery, a measure that overruled the Missouri Compromise.

Senators from the Northern states also objected to the spread of slavery and the admission of any other slave states into the Union. At the time Missouri asked for admission into the Union, the Senate was equally divided with eleven free states and eleven slave states. The new state of Missouri would add two members to the Senate, thereby giving the slave states a majority in the Senate. The Northern senators also feared that, if Missouri were accepted as a slave state, all of the Louisiana territory might be open for slavery. The Southern states were concerned about prohibition of slavery in the Louisiana territory.
How did the Missouri compromise contribute to the beginning of the civil war?
It actually averted war for thirty years. The problem came when California was up for entry to the USA, and it extended too far on either side of the Missouri Line - both sides claimed it.
