It was an untidy deal that satisfied no-one, and ended up raising the tensions.

In exchange for allowing California to be admitted as a free state, the South had to be appeased by the creation of a couple more slave-states, and a promise that runaway slaves in the North would be hunted down and returned to their Southern owners.

The Abolitonists, increasingly powerful in Congress, were outraged by this extension of slavery. And slaves on the run began to acquire a mythology, fanned by the publication of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'.
