What was Stephen A Duglas's role in pssing the Compromise of 1850?
I'm pretty sure Stephen A. Douglas DID NOT pass the Compromise of 1850. He only agreed about the idea of a railroad starting from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean. Douglas's plan failed anyway, but just to be clear that Stephen A. Douglass was NOT in any part of passing the Compromise of 1850, I promise you! Yea you are wrong, he helped pass the law through congress by splitting them up into 6 (later 5) separate measures. few members were prepared to vote for all of them, but from different elements Douglas hoped to mobilize a majority for each.

The South was unhappy about the increasing difficulty of creating new slave-states. It looked as though they would always be outvoted in Congress, which would tend to pass laws that favoured the North at their expense. The North was not happy about the other half of the bargain - the Fugitive Slave Act, which was the big gesture of appeasement of the South, that they'd had to agree in order to get the Compromise accepted. This Act turned ordinary citizens into unpaid slave-catchers, which they greatly resented. (It caused Harriet Beecher Stowe to write 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' in protest.)
