Missouri Compromise
The compromise of 1850
The series of bills known as the Compromise of 1850 aimed to preserve the Union amid escalating tensions over slavery. This set of legislation included measures such as admitting California as a free state, enacting a stricter Fugitive Slave Law, and allowing popular sovereignty in the territories of New Mexico and Utah. These compromises sought to balance the interests of free and slave states, though they ultimately only provided a temporary solution to the deepening national divide.
The bill that unsuccessfully attempted to ban slavery in Mexico was The Wilmot Proviso.
Some problems Thomas Jefferson faced during his presidency included the Barbary Pirates' attacks on American ships, conflicts with Native American tribes, and the issue of slavery. Jefferson resolved the Barbary Pirates problem by deploying the US Navy and successfully negotiating treaties. He attempted to address conflicts with Native Americans through diplomacy and the concept of assimilation, although these efforts were not always successful. As for slavery, Jefferson did not take significant action to resolve the issue during his presidency, despite his personal opposition to it.

James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States, did not enforce slavery in a direct sense, but his administration is often criticized for its pro-slavery stance. He supported the Dred Scott decision, which effectively allowed slavery to extend into new territories, and he attempted to admit Kansas as a slave state despite opposition. His inaction during the escalating tensions leading up to the Civil War contributed to the division between the North and South over the issue of slavery.
