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.

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.
