After the Mexican war, with another vast new land acquisition, there had to be a new compromise (1850). This one didn't work. It was getting harder to create new slave-states and Congress had to make a big gesture of appeasement to keep the South from breaking away. This was the Fugitive Slave Act, and it set the tone for a decade of mounting tensions, ending in war.
