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 The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 repealed the Missouri compromise declaring it unconsitutional because it violated the Fifth Amendment, or the right to property.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.
To prevent any new state from joining the union as a slave state, to prohibit the passage of any law regarding slavery for 20 years (allow the continuance of slavery where now legal), and to prevent the new import of slaves.
The Great Compromise: Federalism + It was determined that each state would send an equal number of representatives to the Senate, and one representative to the House for each 30,000 residents of the state.3 Compromises on Slavery: The three-fifths law: Southerners wanted their slave population to be counted as well, while Northerners did not. They then agreed that 1 slave would be counted as 3/5 of a 'regular' person.Before 1808, the slave trade could not be amended out of the Constitution.Fugitive Slave Provision: if a slave escaped from a state to another where slavery was illegal, it did not mean the slave was free. The slave should be returned to his owner.

That was the old question that had divided Americans ever since the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The Missouri Compromise, based on a straightforward dividing-line on the map (slavery banned anywhere North of the line), appeared to settle matters, but the new territories acquired from Mexico in 1847 made this unworkable. Three more compromises were attempted, but the rejection of the last one by the newly-elected Lincoln (because it would have allowed some extension of slavery) finally triggered the civil war.
There were more then three reasons for the US Civil War. One prominent reason was that the framers of the US Constitution could not have the Constitution ratified if it outlawed slavery or set forth a plan to gradually end slavery. Secondly, the Northern US states continued to make compromises in order to keep slave states from seceding from the USA. Thirdly, the willingness of the Northern and Southern states to resort to armed conflict to settle their differences was the third and major reason. The problem evolved from the "need" to use slaves to harvest crops in the Southern states.

Compromises between the North and the South began with the writing of the US Constitution, however, in the 19th century, three major compromises were made between the North and the South. The purpose of the compromises were to keep the number of free states and slave states equal in number. The last compromise can be said to be the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. There citizens would vote on slavery in there own territories. The US Congress, thereby washed its hands of the old style compromises. The people within territories would vote on the issue, Congress retreated from the slavery issue battle.
Slavery was a divisive issue during the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, with compromises such as the Three-Fifths Compromise and the Fugitive Slave Clause included to appease slaveholding states. The Constitution did not abolish slavery but did pave the way for its eventual abolition through amendments like the Thirteenth Amendment.
Compromises were reached concerning enslaved people in order to maintain unity among the states, especially between the North and South. The Founding Fathers were concerned about balancing the interests of each region to ensure the new nation's stability. As a result, compromises such as the Three-Fifths Compromise and the Missouri Compromise were made to address issues related to slavery.
