By creating different slavery laws for different parts of the country. It was a policy doomed to failure because of situations such as the one where a slave escaped from a state where slavery was legal to a state or territory where it was illegal.

Very few southerners actually owned slaves but most saw it as a case of "States Rights" versus the perceived interference of the Federal Government.

What failure of the governemnt made the civil war inevitable?

The failure of the government to effectively address the deepening divisions over slavery and states' rights made the Civil War inevitable. Key legislative compromises, such as the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850, only temporarily alleviated tensions without resolving the underlying issues. The rise of abolitionist movements and the Dred Scott decision further polarized the nation. Ultimately, the inability of political leaders to find a lasting solution to these conflicts led to the secession of Southern states and the outbreak of war.

What was proposed my Henry clay to avoid civil war over the issue of slavery?

Henry Clay proposed a series of compromises, most notably the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise of 1850, to address the contentious issue of slavery and prevent civil war. The Missouri Compromise allowed Missouri to enter as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, maintaining a balance in Congress. The Compromise of 1850 included measures such as the admission of California as a free state and the implementation of a stricter Fugitive Slave Law, aiming to appease both pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions. These compromises sought to maintain peace between the North and South but ultimately only provided temporary solutions to the deepening divide over slavery.

Why were the nations leaders in 1860 unable to compromise like the leaders in 1820 and 1850 does there failure to compromise in 1860 mean that they were not as capable as earlier leaders?

The leaders in 1860 faced more entrenched divisions over slavery and states' rights, with heightened tensions leading to a polarization that previous compromises could temporarily alleviate. Unlike the earlier compromises of 1820 and 1850, which were seen as temporary solutions, the stakes were higher in 1860, as the nation was on the brink of civil war. This inability to compromise does not necessarily indicate that the leaders were less capable, but rather reflects the deepening ideological divides and the failure of existing political structures to accommodate the growing conflict. Thus, the circumstances and intensity of the issues at hand rendered compromise increasingly difficult.
