New Mexico Territory
New Mexico Territory
Yes. It was originally owned by Mexico.
In the Compromise of 1850, the Mexican Cession territory (excluding California) was to become New Mexico and Utah. Their slave situations were to be determined using popular sovereignty, or the power of the votes of the people to decide if it would be a slave state or not. In addition, the Compromise of 1850 also gave the disputed territory between Texas, a slave state, and New Mexico to New Mexico. This invalidated the previous compromise, the Missouri Compromise, which banned slavery in North of 36 in newly gained territory.
The Territory of New Mexico existed from September 9, 1850, until January 6, 1912, when the territory was admitted to the Union as the State of New Mexico. Santa Fe was the capital city in the Territory of New Mexico.
