Compare and contrast the Compromise of 1850 and the Missouri Compromise of 1820?

Alright, listen up! The Missouri Compromise of 1820 drew a line at 36°30' to determine slave and free states, while the Compromise of 1850 allowed California to enter as a free state and included a stricter Fugitive Slave Law. So basically, one drew a line in the sand, and the other tried to clean up a mess with a stricter law. Got it? Good.

What did the compromise 1850 involve?

The Compromise of 1850 changed the basis for slavery in the US. Under the Missouri Compromise (1820), new territories and states would allow slavery if they were located below 36° 30' N latitude. At the time, this was mostly Mexican territory, but much of it was ceded to the US following the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and abolitionists did not want slavery extended to the area. The Compromise of 1850 left the issue of slavery up to the inhabitants of those new territories, i.e. popular sovereignty.
