How did the Compromise of 1850 serve as a tool to quiet sectional divisiveness in 1850?
Unfortunately it didn't. It was the Missouri Compromise of 1820 that managed to defuse the confrontation for thirty years, but the admission of California as free soil forced Congress to make concessions to the South. With the Fugitive Slave Act, they overdid it. Throughout the USA, members of the public now had to report anyone who looked as though they might be a runaway. This brought many new converts to Abolitionism, and it started the Underground Railroad. It was the first of the many crises of the 1850's that ended in war.
