The parallel that lined-up with Missouri's Southern border (36,30). This was the clear 'line in the sand' that kept the peace for thirty years.

But it only applied to the territories acquired under the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. When Ameriica acquired vast new territories from Mexico, a new compromise had to be worked out. This one did not last.
