What is the starting line for the lines of longitude?
No. The Prime Meridian is about Longitude, which was far more difficult to calculate than Latitude. Latitude can be measured by knowing how high the Sun is above the horizon & by the Stars at night. Longitude needs the addition of knowing time at one place & another place & speed & direction of movement. The Prime Meridian, 0 degrees Longitude runs from Pole to Pole through Greenwich, London. (The Headquarters of the Royal Navy at the time) 0 degrees latitude is the Equator.
What was the Line of Demarcation?
The Line of Demarcation was an imaginary division of territory on the Earth at 50 degrees longitude, which was used to separate the boundaries of Portugal and Spain made in the year 1493 by Pope Alexander VI and later by Pope Julian II. Spain controlled territory west of the line, while Portugal controlled territory east of the line. The line was moved 800 miles further west with the signing of the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 a year later.In short The Line OF Demarcation, divided the non-European world into two trading and exploration zones one for Spain and one for Portugal. The two nations agreed to these terms in the Treaty of Tordesillas.the line of democration is an imaginary line running down the middle of the Atlantic from the North Pole to the South Pole.
What is a reason slave trade ended?
Slave trade, in a sense has never truly ended. And there may be places including in the "Sex Industry" and perhaps some third world nations where it is still practiced. However, it is no longer LEGALLY practiced in the USA, Europe, as well as most developed countries.The end of Slavery in the Developed World would be largely due to social changes. It would be noted that most European countries abolished slavery long before it was done in the USA, and the European influence would have helped steer the USA towards abolishing slavery.As people started striving towards the recognition of basic human rights, slavery became more and more problematic.For example, the US Declaration of Independence had the line "All Men are Created Equal". But, initially that wasn't considered to apply to Women, Native Americans, and those of African American heritage. Yet, perhaps that was a seed that led to an ideology that led to the demise of slavery.Industrialization may also have started leading towards the end of slavery with changes from skilled to unskilled labor as well as more mechanization in farming and the processing of farm products. It should also be noted that slaves weren't cheap with the average slave costing thousands of dollars in 18th century money.Over time the USA became very divided with the Northern states abolishing slavery, but perhaps allowing indentured servitude. Southern States believed that slavery was necessary for farm labor.It is unclear whether Abraham Lincoln would actually have abolished slavery had the South not attempted to secede from nation. In many senses he was a centrist. And the social/political climate of the time was to maintain a tenuous equality between the slave states of the south and the anti-slavery states of the north. However, as part of the war it became a political issue in which both Northerners (Yankees) as well as many southern slaves expected the abolition of slavery. And with the abolition of slavery it helped recruit the efforts of African Americans in both the north and the south towards the war efforts.

The most northern line of latitude is?
The most northern 'line' of latitude is really a point. 90 degrees latitude north is the north pole.

90 degrees north latitude is the north pole. The equator is zero latitude.
What perserved the balance between free and slave states?

Did the Missouri Compromise end slavery?
No, and it was not intended to. It was a largely successful attempt to mediate the disagreement between North and South, by fixing a single line of latitude, and making slavery illegal anywhere North of that line. It lasted thirty years until the admission of California, which extended so far on either side of the line that a new Compromise had to be worked out. That one did not last.
What is the latitude line furthest to the north called and what is the measurement?
The farthest north latitude is 90° North. It is a single point, called the 'north pole'.
