By failing to address long-term moral and economic differences.
Each compromise was a short-term political fix that left the central issue—whether slavery should be allowed and how it fit into the nation’s economy and moral order—unresolved. Missouri (1820), Compromise of 1850 (with its Fugitive Slave Act), and the Kansas‑Nebraska Act (1854, which repealed the Missouri Compromise) postponed settlement, added new flashpoints (e.g., “Bleeding Kansas”), and increased sectional anger rather than removing the causes of conflict.
