What was included in the compromise of 1850?

The Compromise of 1850 was a series of legislative measures aimed at easing tensions between slave and free states. It included the admission of California as a free state, the establishment of territorial governments in Utah and New Mexico with the question of slavery to be decided by popular sovereignty, the abolition of the slave trade in Washington, D.C., and the implementation of a stricter Fugitive Slave Law. This compromise was intended to maintain the balance between free and slave states and delay the onset of the Civil War.


What were the three compromises on slavery?

The three key compromises on slavery in U.S. history are the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. The Missouri Compromise allowed Missouri to enter as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, and established a boundary for slavery in the Louisiana Territory. The Compromise of 1850 admitted California as a free state while allowing popular sovereignty in other territories and included the Fugitive Slave Act. The Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise, allowing settlers in those territories to determine the status of slavery through popular sovereignty, leading to significant conflict known as "Bleeding Kansas."
