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.
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.
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.
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.
Counting seaplanes, reconnaissance (scout) planes, and land based airplanes; there were approximately 300 aircraft apiece on each side.

The compromise of 1850 was a result of the country beginning its fight over slavery. It also admitted California into statehood and created the land that would eventually become New Mexico and Utah. The compromise was signed on September 18th.
Alright, listen up! The Missouri Compromise of 1820 drew a line at 36Β°30' to determine slave and free states, while the Compromise of 1850 allowed California to enter as a free state and included a stricter Fugitive Slave Law. So basically, one drew a line in the sand, and the other tried to clean up a mess with a stricter law. Got it? Good.
Some of the major points of the compromise of 1850 were that slave trade would be abolished in the District of Columbia, California would be admitted as a free state, and Texas would give up the land it was claiming they owned. Another major point was that the states of New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah would join the union.

The Compromise of 1850 was a series of measures adopted by the US Congress on September 9, 1850, prior to the Civil War, to address slavery and territory issues, and to stop secession by the South. Proposed largely by Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky, it included several measures to ensure a balance between free and slave states. It admitted California to the Union as a free state, and from the remaining land acquired in the Mexican War (1846-48), it established Utah and New Mexico as territories with an open status of slavery, a measure that overruled the Missouri Compromise.
It permitted slavery in those two states, as the price of California being admitted as free soil.
The American Compromise of 1850 achieved more than one objective. First, it mediated between the southern slave states and the northern free states. A second achievement of the Compromise was that it minimized tension over land that was acquired from Mexico. The Compromise consisted of five different bills and although each side disliked some components of the agreement, overall it brought relief to the nation.
The compromise consisted of five parts passed by the government to try and lessen the tensions between the North and the South. The five parts were:California was admitted to a free state.Slave trade was abolished in DC.The territories of New Mexico and Utah were organized.The fugitive Slave Act was passed.Texas gave up the Western Land.
The Missouri Compromise said that any land below Missouri is slavery land, and any land above that, is freedom.
There was no European countries ruling the land in 1850
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 drew a line in the sand - in the territories acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase, there would be no new slave-states North of the parallel that marked Missouri's Southern border. After the Mexican war, with another vast new land acquisition, there had to be a new compromise (1850). This one didn't work. It was getting harder to create new slave-states and Congress had to make a big gesture of appeasement to keep the South from breaking away. This was the Fugitive Slave Act, and it set the tone for a decade of mounting tensions, ending in war.
