The effectiveness of political compromise in reducing sectional tensions was very poor, as demonstrated by the Missouri Compromise, the compromise of 1850, and the Kansas Nebraska act. These compromises created very little help in trying to repair the tensions. One of the first compromises to try to loosen the tensions was the Missouri Compromise.
