Compromise of 1850.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 effectively overturned the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The Missouri Compromise had prohibited slavery in the northern part of the Louisiana Purchase, specifically north of the 36°30′ parallel. By allowing settlers in Kansas and Nebraska to decide whether to allow slavery through popular sovereignty, the Kansas-Nebraska Act nullified the restrictions set by the Missouri Compromise.

The Compromise of 1850 effectively nullified the Missouri Compromise line of 36°30' by allowing new territories acquired from the Mexican-American War to decide for themselves whether to permit slavery through popular sovereignty. This meant that the geographic boundary established by the Missouri Compromise, which had previously maintained a clear division between free and slave states, no longer held authority. As a result, the issue of slavery in these territories became more contentious and contributed to rising tensions leading up to the Civil War.
