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.

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.
