The compromise of 1850 revisits the long time argument concerning which states should be free and which states should be able to have slaves. Prior to that (and the Kansas Nebraska Act) the Missouri Compromise of 1820 had established a sort of line to divide all the slave states from the free. The Kansas Nebraska act had undone all the effort put into the Missouri Compromise and it allowed for attention so shift back to the issue of slavery. The Missouri Compromise had basically delayed that issue and the Kansas Nebraska Act and The Compromise of 1850 touched up on an increasingly sensitive topic which fuels the first sparks which lead to the Civil War.
The state of Kansas was formed just prior to the Civil War. The state of Texas also became part of the United States just before the Civil War and then promptly seceded to join the South.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act - a hopeful attempt to allow new states to admitted as slave or free according to a local vote. When it was tried in Kansas, every bully-boy from both sides descended on Kansas to intimidate voters. The result was 'Bleeding Kansas'.
The US Civil War is considered to have begun on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces fired upon Ft. Sumter in the harbor of Charleston South Carolina. Kansas was admitted to the Union on January 29, 1861 - about 2½ months prior to that. The next state admitted to the Union was West Virginia - which was split from Virginia June 20, 1863 - more than 2 years after the start of the Civil War
