California wanted to apply for statehood as a free state, so Henry Clay (the Great Compromiser of the Missouri Compromise and the Kansas-Nebraska Act) and Stephen Douglass (the man who heavily favored popular sovereignty) created this. California became a free state and Utah and New Mexico were popular sovereignty (they decided whether or not to be free or slave state). This abolished the internal slave trade in DC and strengthened Fugitive Slave Laws. The north didn't like the Fugitive Slave Laws or the fact that slavery had the chance of expanding. The South didn't like that California became free (another free state another angry Southern threat) or the fact that slavery had the chance of being stopped. Just look at the reactions in the Kansas-Nebraska Act (Bleeding Kansas) or Uncle Tom's Cabin. The Civil War was inevitable.
