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.

Is Vietnam a communist country still?
Back in 1959, North Vietnam was Communist. Until 1975 when the Americans joined the North and captured the south. Now the whole country is Communist. yes the north was communist and it now entirely communist but the Americas did NOT join the north. they went into the south to protect them from the communist because they were afraid of communist invasion as was seen in cuba with the support of the soviets, the other superpower. it wasnt until after 1975 once all the American troops had left ( referred to as vietnamization) that the North captured the south :)

The Missouri Compromise did what?
The significance of the 1820 Missouri Compromise is it probably delayed the War Between the States by 40 years.During this 40 year period, the northern "union" states grew in population, infrastructure, manufacturing and technology. This period allowed the north an advantage in preserving the union.Hypothetically, the outcome of the war could have been very different had it been waged in the 1820 era, when the south had a closer parity with the north, and the United States could well be two countries today.see missouri-compromise-of-1820==It delayed the Civil War long enough that the young nation was strong enough to withstand the shock, instead of disintegrating.
