What was the plan to ban slavery in territories gained from New 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.

Did New Mexico enter the Union as a slave state?
No. They did not become states until decades after slavery ended in the US Civil War. However.. When statehood was first proposed for the New Mexico Territory in 1850, slavery would have been prohibited there. In 1860, Northern Republicans were anxious to avoid Southern secession, and offered to admit New Mexico as a slave state. But it was too little, too late. New Mexico did not finally become a state until 1912, and was the 47th US state.
