Missouri
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.
