The following are the compromise made before the Compromise of 1850:• The Missouri Compromise: Missouri was admitted into the Union as a slave state. However, Maine was taken away from Massachusetts and made into a non-slave state. It was done to balance out the number of slaves and non-slave states in the US.• Slave Trade Compromise: Slavery went for 20 years because of this compromise.• Connecticut Compromise: The Constitution set up two houses in Congress: the House of Representatives (proportional membership based on population) and the Senate (two seats per state). • The Three-Fifths Compromise: Slaves counted as 3/5 of a person under the Constitution for apportioning House of Representative seats.

It had brought racial discrimination to prosper for slave states. For Non-slave states. The Northerners were able to grow economically. They had railroads and had established industrialized states.
