What is the importance of California becoming a 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.


What new slave state did the Compromise of 1850 admit?

California. (New Respondent) No, California was to be free - a major decision that needed a big gesture of appeasement for the South. This gesture was the Fugitive Slave Act that brought the civil war a long step closer. I'm not sure it admitted any new slave-states. I think it allowed for the states of Utah and New Mexico to be eligible for slavery under certain conditions when the time came.
