Utah and New Mexico
The Compromise of 1850 included several measures regarding slavery, specifically prohibiting slavery in the newly acquired territories of California and New Mexico. California was admitted as a free state, while the status of slavery in New Mexico and Utah was to be determined by popular sovereignty. Additionally, the compromise strengthened the Fugitive Slave Act, which required the return of escaped slaves to their owners. Overall, the compromise aimed to balance the interests of slave and free states amidst rising tensions over slavery.
People in Utah and New Mexico got to vote to decide if they wanted to be a slave or free state.
The enactment of the new fugitive slave law
The Compromise of 1850 allowed the territories of New Mexico and Utah to decide whether they wanted slavery through the principle of popular sovereignty. This meant that the settlers in those territories would vote on whether to permit slavery, rather than having Congress make that decision for them. The compromise aimed to ease tensions between free and slave states following the Mexican-American War.
