Novanet-Slavery continued in washington D.C. but slave trading was banned
The Compromise of 1850 did not offer a permanent solution to the slavery question because the "Fugitive Slave Law" that was part of it was not enforced by Northern states, leading Southern political leaders faced with no choice but to secede. With this secession came the inevitable Civil War that would answer the question of slavery once and for all.
The Connecticut Compromise was reached at the convention regarding slavery
The Missouri Compromise was the first attempt to ease the looming crisis over slavery. It effectively prevented the spread of slavery into new states but did nothing to eliminate slavery in current slave states.
They passed the Three-Fifths Compromise and another compromise that stated that slavery would not be abolished until 1808.
