Did south California or north California join the union as freestate?

It was all one state - that was the trouble. If it had been two states, they could have joined the Union under the terms of the Missouri Compromise, and war might have been averted. Even the final attempted compromise in 1861 proposed the dividing of California as one of the terms. But that compromise was rejected by the newly-elected Lincoln (the first Republican president) because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.


Could the US have avoided the Civil War by more compromises such as the Missouri Compromise?

They could have averted a war by dividing California into two States - North and South California - joining at the parallel of the Missouri Compromise. Without that, the new state of California extended so far either side of the line, that both sides claimed it. That's why the Missouri Compromise had to be abandoned in favour of a new compromise (1850) which didn't last. The final trigger that started the Civil War was Lincoln's rejecton of the last attempted compromise (Crittenden) because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.

Why wasn't the north and the south able to compromise over their differences in 1861?

They did - the Missouri Compromise. This lasted thirty years, and was only rendered impractical by the admission of California, a state that extended so far on either side of the Missouri line that both sides claimed it. If only California could have been admitted as two separate states - North and South - there needn't have been a Civil War. The Missouri Compromise was very sensible, and deserved to last.

How the us attempted to compromise on the issue of slaveryand why these compromise failed?

The Missouri Compromise tried to simplify the matter by drawing a line - everything North of that line would be free soil. This lasted well enough until California came up for admission - it extended too far on either of that line to satisfy either side. (Some say war could have been avoided if California had been divided into North and South California.) A new, rather untidy Compromise was attempted, but it did not last. Again they tried to simplify matters by leaving it to each new state to vote whether to be slave or free. But this just encouraged armed gangs to intimidate the voters. This looked like a curtain-raiser for a full-scale war. And it was.
