The Missouri Compromise (1820) established that for each slave state that joined the US, another "free" (non-slave) state had to join, maintaining the balance between the two ideological positions. The South felt that it needed slaves to stay economically strong.

The Compromise of 1850 (five separate bills in 1850) did away with the concept of balance and established that slavery would be decided internally in Kansas and Nebraska. The South was compensated by the Fugitive Slave Law. The acts also established territories in Utah and New Mexico, and allowed California into the US as a "free" state.

Both Compromises were effectively repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1954, which allowed all states to decide on slavery on their own, creating the anti-slavery Republican Party and setting the stage for the US Civil War.
