California
California was admitted to the Union on September 9th, 1850.
California became a free state in 1850, ending the balance of free states and slave states. However, the slave states got a tougher fugitive slave law as a result of California's admission to the Union as a free state.
It voted to be a FREESTATE! dip -____-'
it was not clear weather or not it should be a free state or a slave state
the compromise of 1850
California's entrance as a free state would upset the legislative balance in favor of the North. California's entrance as a slave state would upset the legislative balance in favor of the South. California's entrance as a slave state would cause free African Americans there to lose their freedom. California's entrance as a free state would cause enslaved people there to be freed automatically.
California was to be admitted as a free state.
well California was a part of mexico originally, around the time we were trying to become a state, the United states had an even number of slave/no slave states California wanted to enter in as a free(no slave) state. his caused an issue because it would obviously make the free side bigger and the slave states thought it would bring an end to slave states. Despite this after a lot of "debates" California was voted in, and because we entered as a free state we basically started the civil war, there were other factors but we were a big art in it.
California is huge and the South wanted California to be part of the Confederacy.
it was a free state >3
