How did the us government respond to conflicts over slavery before the civil war?

Before the Civil War, the U.S. government attempted to manage conflicts over slavery through a series of compromises and legislative measures, such as the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise of 1850. These efforts aimed to balance the interests of free and slave states but often fueled further tensions. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which mandated the return of runaway slaves, intensified opposition in the North. Ultimately, these measures failed to resolve the underlying issues, leading to increased sectionalism and contributing to the outbreak of the Civil War.

When Missouri requested statehood its admission presented a problem because people in the state wanted or did what?

The biggest problem was that Missouri wanted to be admitted as a slave state, upsetting the "balance of power" between free and slave states. The Missouri Compromise admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state to maintain the balance, and also specified that no new slave states would be admitted north of the southern border of (most of) Missouri ... the southeastern corner of Missouri dips down into the "slave state" region. As you might expect if you knew anything about the politics of the time, this new rule lasted almost long enough for the ink to dry before people started contesting it.
