It was designed to allow for a give and take and restore some sense of stability to a country quickly becoming divided. The Compromise had five provisions; A) California would be a free state; B) the issue of slavery in the newly acquired territory would be decided at the state/territory level - Popular Sovereignty; C) slave trade was abolished in D.C (not slavery, but the trade);…

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 would settle a dispute between anti-slavery and pro-slavery groups, and would establish a boundary line between the pro and anti-slave regions.
