Northern and southern states compromised on the slave trade by?

Northern and southern states compromised on the slave trade through agreements such as the Three-Fifths Compromise and the decision to allow the importation of slaves to continue for an additional 20 years after the Constitution was ratified in 1787. This compromise aimed to balance the interests of slaveholding states with those that opposed slavery, helping to secure support for the new Constitution. Ultimately, it reflected the deep divisions between the regions regarding slavery and set the stage for future conflicts.
