When did Missouri Compromise start?
The Missouri Compromise happened in the 1820s :)
What was nullified by the Kansas-Nebraska Act?
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 nullified the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had prohibited slavery in the northern part of the Louisiana Purchase territory. The Act allowed the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to determine for themselves whether they would allow slavery through the principle of popular sovereignty. This led to significant conflict and violence, known as "Bleeding Kansas," as pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into the territories to influence the decision.
What was the Missouri Compromise?
The Missouri Compromise was an agreement between the North and the South and passed by Congress in 1820 that allowed Missouri to be admitted as the 24th state in 1821. One slave state (Missouri) and one free state (Maine) were admitted to the Union, maintaining the balance. The balance of power between free and slave states in Congress was maintained to ease tensions between the North and South. The North's attempt to force emancipation upon Missouri when it applied for admission as a slave state in 1819 rankled white southerners, and they threatened secession during the debates over the conditions under which Missouri should be granted statehood. The debates resulted in a compromise that involved the drawing of a line through the United States prohibiting slavery in future states north of the latitude 36°30′ and allowing it in future states south of that. (Missouri itself, despite lying almost entirely north of the line, was admitted as a slave state.) This worked for about 34 years. The Missouri Compromise was a compromise of new territory should be considered a free state or slave state. This compromise proposed whatever was north of the 36'30' line was to be a free state and whatever was south of this line was to be slave state.
What was enacted in 1820 to keep a balance between slave states and free states?
the Missouri Compromise
Compare and contrast the Compromise of 1850 and the Missouri Compromise of 1820?
Alright, listen up! The Missouri Compromise of 1820 drew a line at 36°30' to determine slave and free states, while the Compromise of 1850 allowed California to enter as a free state and included a stricter Fugitive Slave Law. So basically, one drew a line in the sand, and the other tried to clean up a mess with a stricter law. Got it? Good.
What previous law did the Kansas Nebraska bill overturn?
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 effectively overturned the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The Missouri Compromise had prohibited slavery in the northern part of the Louisiana Purchase, specifically north of the 36°30′ parallel. By allowing settlers in Kansas and Nebraska to decide whether to allow slavery through popular sovereignty, the Kansas-Nebraska Act nullified the restrictions set by the Missouri Compromise.

How was the disagreement resolved by Congress regarding The Missouri Compromise?
The disagreement over the Missouri Compromise was resolved through a series of negotiations in 1820, which allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine was admitted as a free state, maintaining the balance between free and slave states. Additionally, the compromise established the 36°30' parallel as the line dividing future free and slave territories in the Louisiana Purchase. This temporary solution aimed to quell sectional tensions but ultimately laid the groundwork for further conflicts over slavery in the years to come.

the Missouri Compromise of 1820
How was the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise of 1850 affected New Mexico and contradicted each other?
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 established a line dividing free and slave territories, admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while leaving future territories to decide on slavery through popular sovereignty. In contrast, the Compromise of 1850 addressed territorial issues arising from the Mexican-American War, allowing New Mexico and California to determine their slave status through popular sovereignty. This created a contradiction, as the Missouri Compromise's fixed boundary was undermined by the flexible approach of the Compromise of 1850, leading to increased tensions over slavery in new territories. Ultimately, both compromises highlighted the growing divisions in the United States over the issue of slavery.
