Leading up to the Three-Fifths Compromise, southern states argued that enslaved individuals should be counted as part of the population for representation in Congress, despite them lacking voting rights. They contended that including enslaved people in the population count would give the South more political power and influence, helping to offset the population advantage of the northern states. Conversely, northern states opposed this notion, arguing that since enslaved individuals were not citizens and could not vote, they should not be counted for representation purposes. Ultimately, the compromise resulted in enslaved individuals being counted as three-fifths of a person for congressional representation and taxation.
The Compromise of 1877 marked the end of Reconstruction in the United States following the contested 1876 presidential election. It involved a deal between Republicans and Southern Democrats, where Rutherford B. Hayes was awarded the presidency in exchange for the withdrawal of federal troops from the South. This effectively ended federal enforcement of Reconstruction policies, leading to the return of white Democratic control in Southern states and the implementation of Jim Crow laws. Additionally, the compromise included promises for Southern economic support and the construction of a transcontinental railroad.
States rights, slavery, western expansion, trade, property and taxation, cause many of the debates.
The Compromise of 1877 did not achieve lasting racial equality or protect the civil rights of African Americans in the South. While it effectively ended Reconstruction by withdrawing federal troops from Southern states, it allowed for the rise of Jim Crow laws and systemic disenfranchisement. Additionally, the compromise did not address the economic disparities or social injustices faced by freed slaves, leading to decades of segregation and oppression.

The Compromise of 1850 was a direct result of the Wilmot Proviso. This was one of the main events leading up to the American Civil War.

Debates between northern and southern states primarily revolved around issues of slavery, states' rights, and economic differences. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 addressed the balance of free and slave states, while the Compromise of 1850 included provisions like the Fugitive Slave Act and admitted California as a free state. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 further intensified tensions by allowing territories to decide on slavery through popular sovereignty. These compromises ultimately failed to resolve the deep-seated divisions, leading to the Civil War.
Henry Clay was the leading negotiator.

The attempt in 1860 to persuade Southern states to remain in the Union was known as the "Crittenden Compromise." Proposed by Senator John J. Crittenden, it aimed to resolve the sectional conflict by offering constitutional amendments that would protect slavery in Southern states and extend the Missouri Compromise line westward. However, the proposal ultimately failed to gain sufficient support and highlighted the deep divisions in the country leading up to the Civil War.

There were a number of compromises made in the US leading up to the US Civil War. The list is as follows:1. In order to have the new US Constitution ratified, slavery was not slated for abolishment, but the importation of slaves would be illegal after 10 years. ( this was a hollow deal as slaves continued to be imported under cover) 2. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 to keep the balance of slave and free states equal; 3. The Missouri Compromise of 1850, this also to keep the slave-free state balance, but added the Fugitive Slave Law; and 4. The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowing citizens to vote on the slave issue when a territory had yet to apply for statehood.
