The Missouri Compromise did not provoke much hostility; it was a successful arrangement, based on a single line of latitude, North of which slavery would be illegal.

It was when the new territories from Mexico were added to the USA that a new compromise was needed. Most of the terms favoured the North, so Congress had to make a dramatic act of appeasement of the South with the Fugitive Slave Act, forcing ordinary citizens to become unpaid slave-catchers. This caused Harriet Beecher Stowe to write 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' which recruited many people to the cause of Abolitionism.

Many Southerners felt slavery was an economic necessity. Many Northerners felt that slavery was morally wrong. Northern factories wanted tariffs to help their industry which hurt Southerners buying goods in Europe with their cotton exports. When Calhoun wanted to nullify the tariff, Andrew Jackson said he would bring in the US Army to stop him. The Missouri Compromise was done to keep the number of slave and free states equal. These were band aids to keep the country together and worked until 1861, when South Carolina seceded from the Union.

How do disagreements lead to great compromises?

Disagreements lead to Great Compromises by the way that they are fought. If the majority of people or the majority of the subject (that the compromise is about) is strong enough compromises will be developed. Without disagreements compromises would not be needed. Also, the leader (or of the United States, President) does not want problems under their ruling. That is why Disagreements lead to Great Compromises.ALSO WITH OUT DISAGREEMENTS THERE WOULD BE NO GREAT COMPROMISE WHICH MEANS NOT ENOUGH SENATORS IN THE USA.
