Under the Compromise of 1850, the territories that were able to choose by popular sovereignty whether or not to allow slavery were New Mexico and Utah. This compromise aimed to address the contentious issue of slavery in newly acquired territories following the Mexican-American War. Kansas and Nebraska later also adopted popular sovereignty through the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, but they were not part of the Compromise of 1850 itself.


How were Utah and New Mexico to decide if they entered the union as a free or slave state?

Utah and New Mexico were to decide on their status as free or slave states through the principle of popular sovereignty, established by the Compromise of 1850. This approach allowed the residents of these territories to vote on whether to permit slavery when they applied for statehood. The decision was meant to ease tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States. However, it ultimately led to increased conflict and debate surrounding the issue of slavery in the territories.
