It affected the enormous territory acquired from Mexico (the Mexican Cession) following the Mexican-American War (1846-48). Under the Missouri Compromise (1820), slavery would be allowed in the territories and future states south of 36° 30' N latitude.

How did the Compromise of 1850 satisfy the north and the south?

At the time of the Missouri Compromise, there was strong disagreement between people who were pro-slavery and those who were anti-slavery. Various territories, such as Missouri, Arkansas, and Maine, were trying to become states, but there was great concern over whether the new states would be slave states or free. The compromise mapped out which land would have slaves allowed, and which would not. In effect it gave pro-slave people the right to retain slaves and extend slavery to the west, and it gave the anti-slavery people a guarantee that slavery would not be extended into the Northwest.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of The Missouri Compromise?

An advantage to the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was that slavery would not be permitted in the territory that is now the state of Missouri. A disadvantage to the Missouri Compromise was that people who believed in slavery in the South could not move north to gain more land and keep their slaves.


Why did the imperial compromise begin faling apart after 1763?

Some of the colonists had already acquired land in the territory, that was now placed off limits by the British. Many were not happy about helping the British win over the French, only to have land they believed would be open to them handed over to the natives.


How did west ward expansion affect the civil war?

I think a lot because the real debate during the Civil War was about the political importance of the west and who would decide its future. The south wanted the newly acquired land from Mexico to enter as slave states while the North wanted the land to be free states. This angered the South who depended on slave labor to grow cotton and other crops, The Compromise of 1850 which also angered the South made Carolina a free state and let other states choose whether they wanted to be free or slave states. The south saw they were loosing power and obviously did not like that.
