The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was effectively repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. This act allowed new territories to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery, effectively nullifying the previous compromise that had maintained a balance between slave and free states. The repeal intensified sectional tensions and contributed to the events leading up to the American Civil War.
