The line of latitude that corresponded with Missouri's Southern border.
That was the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which kept the peace for thirty years, until the admission of California, which extended too far either side of the line.
This led to the Compromise of 1850 - a new deal, where there was no single line of demarcation.
