For its time in US history, the Missouri Compromise of 1820, seemed to be the most logical solution to keep the number of free States and slave States in balance. No one could have predicted the rapid growth of the United States and the force of the anti slavery movement. The issue of slavery, meaning, should it exist in America or not, was not an issue to be solved in 1820.
As an aside, the major power in the world of its day, The British Empire did not abolish slavery until 1833.

One notable failed attempt by Congress to address the slavery issue during the secession crisis was the Crittenden Compromise in late 1860. Proposed by Senator John J. Crittenden, it sought to extend the Missouri Compromise line westward and ensure the protection of slavery in southern territories. However, the proposal failed to gain enough support, particularly from Republican lawmakers who opposed the expansion of slavery, ultimately contributing to the deepening divide that led to the Civil War.
