History of the United States

To attempt to resolve the dispute between the North and South regarding slavery, Congress convened on December 3, 1849. The result of this convention was the Compromise of 1850.

The Compromise of 1850 allowed the New Mexico and Utah territories to choose, in the future, to become slave states. The South avoided adopting the Wilmot Proviso. A stronger Fugitive Slave Act was passed by Congress.
