The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, made the use of Congressional compromises unnecessary. Voters in territories could vote on the issue of slavery before the territory petitioned for statehood. What remained from the 1850 compromise was the Fugitive Slave Act. Even in 1860, president-elect Lincoln promised to enforce this law as long as it existed.

Which politician's idea provided the basis for the Missouri Compromise?

In 1850, the situation that brought about the first Missouri Compromise of 1820 was now more complicated as new US States and territories were part of the expansion of the United States. Several notable US politicians were involved in the Missouri Compromise of 1850, namely Whig Party Senator Daniel Webster from Massachusetts and to the degree his health would permit, John Calhoun and Henry Clay all had a part in promoting the 1850 Compromise.


Did the Kansas Nebraska Act support the Missouri Compromise of 1850?

No. The effect of the Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854) was to supersede (nullify) the Missouri Compromise, rendering it inapplicable to future states. The geographical division was not applied, but rather "popular sovereignty" within a state would decide the issue of slavery there. This resulted in internecine warfare in the states of Kansas and Missouri, and murderous attacks by both sides (abolitionists and pro-slavery).The Missouri Compromise (1820) was never actually repealed per se.


How long did the Missouri Compromise of 1820 last?
