Best Answer

The Missouri Compromise only related to the territories acquired from France under the Louisiana Purchase.

California was acquired much later, from Mexico.

A few years later, it was proposed that the line of the Missouri Compromise should extend all the way to the Pacific. But if California had to remain as a single state, it was simply too big to fit the system. (If it had been admitted as two states - North and South California - war might have been avoided.)

How did southerners feel about the Compromise of 1850?

They agreed to the Compromise of 1850 - though they weren't too happy about California joining the Union as free soil. That was why Congress had to appease them by enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act - which managed to mobilise a lot of Northern sympathy with the runaways.
