The Compromise of 1850 was a series of laws passed by the U.S. Congress to address the issue of slavery in newly acquired territories from the Mexican-American War. The compromise included California being admitted as a free state, the Fugitive Slave Act to return escaped slaves to their owners, and popular sovereignty to determine slave or free status in other territories.
The issue of the Three-Fifths Compromise was resolved at the Constitutional Convention, which determined how slaves would be counted for the purpose of taxation and representation in Congress. The compromise stated that each slave would be counted as three-fifths of a person for these purposes.
The Civil War was directly related to the issue of slavery, as it was fought over the abolition of slavery in the United States.
The Fugitive Slave Law was part of the Compromise of 1850 and involved Southern slave owners, Northern abolitionists, and runaways slaves. It required that escaped slaves be returned to their owners, leading to tensions between states and further polarizing the nation on the issue of slavery.
The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln in 1863 and the passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1865 formally ended slavery in the United States, settling the issue temporarily.
The Compromise of 1850 centered on the issue of slavery in the newly acquired territories from the Mexican-American War, including California and New Mexico. It aimed to address the balance between free and slave states by allowing popular sovereignty in some western territories.
