The Fugitive Slave Act (1850)
The bill that abolished the slave trade in Washington D.C. and addressed the controversy over slavery in California and the rest of the Mexican Cession was the Compromise of 1850. This set of legislative measures included provisions that allowed California to enter the Union as a free state while permitting popular sovereignty in the other territories acquired from Mexico, thereby allowing residents to decide on the issue of slavery. The Compromise aimed to ease tensions between free and slave states during a critical period leading up to the Civil War.
