The congressional crisis in 1850 was primarily precipitated by the contentious debate over the expansion of slavery into newly acquired territories following the Mexican-American War. The introduction of the Compromise of 1850 aimed to address these tensions by allowing California to enter the Union as a free state while also implementing stricter fugitive slave laws and allowing popular sovereignty in other territories. This compromise sparked intense opposition and division among lawmakers, reflecting the deepening sectional conflict between the North and South. Ultimately, the crisis highlighted the inability of Congress to find a lasting solution to the issue of slavery, setting the stage for further discord leading up to the Civil War.
