North of that line, slavery was illegal in all the territories of the Louisiana Purchase, according to the Missouri Compromise.

The acquisition of the new territories from Mexico required a new Compromise (1850) and this one did not work.

Stephen Douglas of Illinois proposed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which allowed the people of each state to vote whether to be slave or free. The voting in Kansas caused bloodshed, and it was not tried again. But the imminent Civil War would spell the end of slavery throughout the USAin any case.
