The Compromise of 1850 attempted to resolve a conflict between the slave states and the free states regarding territories gained during the Mexican American War. The Fugitive Slave Law, part of the compromise, was deeply controversial and continued to cause tension between the South and the North.
Both the Missouri compromises gave the US more time to consider the issue of slavery and whether slavery would be allowed in the new US territories. There is no direct linkage to the last Missouri compromise of 1850 and the US Civil War.
The North sought to limit the expansion of slavery into new territories and states, aiming to maintain a balance of power in Congress that favored free states. In contrast, the South aimed to protect and expand the institution of slavery, pushing for compromises that would allow for its continuation and spread. Both sides sought to preserve the Union, but their conflicting interests led to tensions that complicated negotiations, ultimately resulting in compromises like the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850. These agreements attempted to address the contentious issue of slavery but often only postponed the inevitable conflict.
No it was not an issue their!
The South looked at slavery as an economic issue. The North viewed slavery as a moral issue. In the North, slavery was proving to be unprofitable in the North and was dying out by the end of the American Revolution, but in the South white Southerners were increasingly more defensive of slavery.
The Virginia Plan, presented at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, did not explicitly address the issue of slavery, but it implicitly supported it by counting enslaved individuals as part of the population for representation purposes. This meant that states with large enslaved populations, like Virginia, would gain more representation in Congress. However, the plan did not propose any specific protections or regulations regarding slavery itself. Ultimately, the issue of slavery was a contentious topic during the convention, leading to compromises that allowed it to persist in the new Constitution.

The Missouri compromises reserved the balance over the issue of slavery between the North and the South. This ended with the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act, which gave citizens in a territory the right to vote on the slavery issue.

There were two Missouri Compromises. The one in 1820 sought to keep the balance of slave states and free states equal in number. Thirty years later, the Missouri Compromise of 1850 attempted to accomplish the same goal and did so. These compromises were necessary as slavery became a tough issue to solve. There were strong sectional differences on slavery, and compromises were required to keep the nation whole and free of armed conflict over the issue.

The compromises were infective in resolving the issue of slavery for a number of reasons. For one, popular sovereignty allowed those within the border states to decide whether they wanted slavery or not. Since the decision was not federally mandated, free soil partisans and border ruffians often clashed over the issue of slavery. This was especially true in Kansas, which became a hotbed for abolitionist and pro-slavery groups. It would literally take a 4 year Civil War to help free the slaves in the border states and throughout the rest of the country.
