What did The Missouri Compromise say about slavery?
The Missouri Compromise made slavery illegal in much of the US, except for the state of Missouri. Some people believe that this made the Civil War erupt later than it would have without the compromise.
What were the main issues that led to Henry Clays proposed compromise?
People complained about having slaves. Some people liked having slaves and some people didn't. In the end, Missouri was a slave state and Maine was a free state.
Why did some northerners object to dividing the nebraska territory in two?
It would allow slavery to spread north of the line established by the Missouri compromise. - Novanet
How did the Missouri Compromise either raise or reduce tensions over the slavery issue?
The Missouri Compromise was used to please both pro and anti-slavery people from the North and South with a regulation that prohibited slavery in some states and allowed it in other.
Did the Compromise of 1850 essentially restore the Missouri Compromise?
No. It replaced it with a deal - California to be admitted as a free state, with certain concessions to appease the South, including tightening-up the Fugitive Slave Act. It was the last-minute Crittenden Compromise that was meant to restore the Missouri Line, but Lincoln rejected this compromise, because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.
