The Missouri Compromise aimed to resolve the contentious issue of the expansion of slavery into newly acquired territories and states in the United States. Specifically, it addressed the balance of power between slave and free states by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. Additionally, it established a geographic line at the 36°30' parallel, north of which slavery would be prohibited in future states. This compromise sought to ease tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions, though it ultimately provided only a temporary solution to the growing divide.

To prevent the government from taking away the rights of slaveholders
In 1850, Congress attempted to resolve the contentious issue of slavery through a series of compromises known as the Compromise of 1850. This legislative package included measures such as admitting California as a free state, implementing popular sovereignty in the territories of New Mexico and Utah, and enacting a stricter Fugitive Slave Law. The aim was to balance the interests of slaveholding and free states, but it ultimately only postponed the conflict over slavery, leading to further tensions and division in the nation.
The Critter Den Compromise of 1860 aimed to address the escalating tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States. It sought to find a middle ground to prevent civil conflict by proposing a series of legislative measures that included the extension of the Missouri Compromise line and the potential admission of new states as either free or slave states. Ultimately, the compromise was unsuccessful in mitigating divisions, contributing to the eventual outbreak of the Civil War.
The Crittenden Compromise of 1860 aimed to prevent the impending Civil War by proposing constitutional amendments that would protect slavery in southern states and extend the Missouri Compromise line westward. It sought to appease both pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions by ensuring that slaveholding territories would be established. However, the proposal ultimately failed to gain sufficient support in Congress, reflecting the deep divisions within the nation over slavery.
