The Missouri Compromise was a legislative agreement in 1820 that aimed to address the issue of slavery expansion in the United States. It was not intended to unify the Whigs, as the Whig Party did not exist at the time. The Missouri Compromise was actually a compromise between the North and the South, with the goal of maintaining a balance of power between free and slave states. Therefore, the statement that the Missouri Compromise came to unify the Whigs is false.

The Dred Scott case, in which the Supreme Court ruled that enslaved individuals were property, further deepened divisions. However, it was the secession of southern states and the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter that ultimately triggered the Civil War.
