The compromise of 1850 provided the North (free states) with another state, Thus giving them control in both the House and the Senate...the South couldn't do anything about it.

The rest of the deal was a few concessions to appease the South, including the Fugitive Slave Act, which backfired badly.

Compare and contrast the Compromise of 1850 and the Missouri Compromise of 1820?
The Compromise of 1850 can be compared to the Compromise of 1820 (Missouri Compromise), mainly by comparing how the two compromises were different and alike in how they were able to successfully appease both the North and the South on the issue of slavery. The Compromise of 1850 was designed to prevent the South from seceding, and delaying the Civil War. It was created mostly to deal with the problem on how to annex California into the Union, because the North and the South disputed over whether or not to split California into two different states, the Northern section being slave-free, and the Southern section allowing slavery. The Compromise of 1820 prohibited slavery above the line of 30o60' North, except in Missouri, therefore solving the problem of how to divide the land acquired by the Union in the Mexican War.
What did the Compromise of 1850 not do?
Deal with slavery. They could not agree on how to change or end it, so they did nothing.
What are three reasons why The Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the compromise of 1850 could be the leading cause to the American civil war?
The Missouri Compromise was not a cause of the war - it was a reasonable deal that delayed hostilities for forty years. The Compromise of 1850 included a provision to toughen-up the Fugitive Slave Act, and this became an emotive issue in the North, especially when Uncle Tom's Cabin was published soon after.
The Civil War and the Compromise of 1850?
During the civil war, legislators passed some regulations to deal with the slavery issue, and this triggered civil unrest. The compromise helped in resolving the confrontation between the Free states and the Slave states.
What compromises did the government make leading up to the US Civil War?
There were a number of compromises made in the US leading up to the US Civil War. The list is as follows:1. In order to have the new US Constitution ratified, slavery was not slated for abolishment, but the importation of slaves would be illegal after 10 years. ( this was a hollow deal as slaves continued to be imported under cover) 2. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 to keep the balance of slave and free states equal; 3. The Missouri Compromise of 1850, this also to keep the slave-free state balance, but added the Fugitive Slave Law; and 4. The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowing citizens to vote on the slave issue when a territory had yet to apply for statehood.

When was the great compromise of 1850?

Did the Compromise of 1850 essentially restore the Missouri Compromise?
No. It replaced it with a deal - California to be admitted as a free state, with certain concessions to appease the South, including tightening-up the Fugitive Slave Act. It was the last-minute Crittenden Compromise that was meant to restore the Missouri Line, but Lincoln rejected this compromise, because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.
How was the compromise of 1850 more a triumph of sectional self-interest than a true national compromise?
By definition, a compromise is a resolution of conflicting sectional interests. 'National compromise' doesn't mean too much. The Compromise of 1850 was a rather desperate attempt to replace the successful Missouri Compromise, which had kept the peace for thirty years, but was rendered inoperable by the admission of California - too big to fit the geographical terms of the compromise. In the new deal, California would be admitted as free soil - a major concession by the South, who then needed to be appeased by the Fugitive Slave Act, allowing official slave-catchers to hunt down runaways. This did not keep the peace, as we know.
How did the compromise 1850 start?
After the Mexican War, California was admitted to the Union as one big state that extended so far on either side of the Missouri Line that both sides claimed it. To get California admitted as free soil, Congress had to repeal the Missouri Compromise and appease the South with a new deal.
