"The legislative package known as the Compromise of 1850 postponed the Civil War by a decade. However, like the 1820 Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850 failed to resolve the question of slavery in a meaningful way. Over the course of the 1860s, the inadequacies of both measures were
made painfully clear, 'Popular sovereignty undermined the Missouri compromise by suggesting the earlier division of the country along the thirty-sixth parallel
into free states and slave states no longer applied. Indeed, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 permitted slavery. The resulting bloodshed in Kansas, like later
incidents at Harper's Ferry, presaged the violent conflict of the Civil War."
