The Missouri Compromise, which drew a clear 'line in the sand' along a particular parallel, North of which slavery would be illegal.

This kept the peace for thirty years, until the admission of the new state of California, which was too big to fit the terms of that compromise, so a new one had to be worked out. This one did not last.
