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.
