Southern Gains: There were no restrictions on slavery in Mexico, SLAVERY itself was not abolished in the District of Columbia, the fugitive slave law (capturing runaways) became stronger.

The Missouri Compromise The Compromise of 1850 The Kansas-Nebraska Act.
As its name suggests, it was in 1850! This was when California was coming up for admission to the USA. It was too big to fit the terms of the Missouri Compromise. That's why they needed a new deal.
No. The Compromise allowed the Missouri territory to join the USA as a slave-state. The condition was that there should be no more new slave-states North of the parallel that marked Missouri's Southern border. This represented a clear 'line in the sand' that kept the peace for thirty years, until the admission of California made the Compromise inoperable.
The cause is the Compromise of 1850, and the effect is the Southern filibuster ventures.

The compromises that the Northern and Southern states reached were the Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise.~A.K. =)
The original Compromise of 1850 failed to pass the Senate. Stephen Douglas helped Henry Clay by dividing the Compromise into 5 smaller bills and was able to push the bills through the Senate.
compromise of 1850
Henry Clay was the man who drafted a series of proposals that became known as the Compromise of 1850. The proposals reconciled competing northern and southern concerns over the expansion of slavery into Missouri and the western territories conquered from Mexico.
Basically the Missouri Compromise of 1850 was a fair compromise. One problem for Northern abolitionists was that the Compromise ushered in the Fugitive Slave Act. They were outraged that the new compromise included this law.
The alternative was to let the south secede from the Union or achieve some kind of compromise.
Some of the events that brought about the compromise of 1850 were slavery and territorial controversies arising from the Mexican American War. The compromise brought to an end the conflict between southern or slavery states and the northern, or free states.
