Compromise of 1815

Answer 1

I am pretty sure it is called the Compromise of 1850. Anyway, Henry Clay came up with a compromise that had five main parts. First, he urged Congress to admit California to the Union as a free state. Second, he called for the rest of the Mexican Cession--already called New Mexico--to be organized as a federal territory in which popular sovereignty could determine the status of slavery. Third, Clay addressed a border dispute between Texas and New Mexico. He called on Texas to give up its claim to all land east of the upper Rio Grande. In exchange, the federal government would assume the debt that Texas had left over from its days as an indapendant republic. Fourth, bowing to a common northern request, Clay called for an end to the slave trade--but not slavery--in the nation's capital. Fifth, meeting the demands of southern slaveholders who claimed to lose many slaves a year to the North, Clay called for a new, more effective fugitive slave law. There was a long debate but soon the Compromise of 1850 accomplished most of what Clay had wanted. Califormia entered the Union as a free state. The rest of the Mexican Cession was divided into two territories--Utah and New Mexico--in which the status of slavery would be decided by popular soveriegnty. Texas agreed to surrender its land claims in New Mexico in exchange for financial assistance form the federal government. Finally, the compromise abolished the slave trade in the nation's capital.
