There were two Missouri Compromises. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was primarily the work of the House Speaker Henry Clay of Kentucky. This agreement kept the balance of slave states and free states even. Missouri entered the Union as a slave state and the newly created state of Maine entered as a free sate. In 1850 there was the need of another compromise to keep the Union intact and conflict free. The 1850 Compromise allowed California to enter the Union as a free state; and

* A tougher fugitive slave act was created;

* Texas agreed to give up certain territorial claims;

* The federal government would assume the public debt of Texas; and

* The new Utah and New Mexico territories would allow voters to determine its slave or no slave policies.

In 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska Act would make popular sovereignty the new slave policy. This made the 1850 compromise almost irrelevant.
