In 1850, two key proposals were made to address the issues of slavery in the territories acquired from the Mexican Cession. The first was the Compromise of 1850, which included the admission of California as a free state and allowed the territories of New Mexico and Utah to decide on slavery through popular sovereignty. The second proposal involved the strengthening of the Fugitive Slave Law, which mandated that escaped slaves be returned to their owners, thereby appeasing Southern interests while attempting to maintain a fragile balance between free and slave states.
