The Compromise of 1850 was a series of measures adopted by the US Congress on September 9, 1850, prior to the Civil War, to address slavery and territory issues, and to stop secession by the South. Proposed largely by Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky, it included several measures to ensure a balance between free and slave states. It admitted California to the Union as a free state, and from the remaining land acquired in the Mexican War (1846-48), it established Utah and New Mexico as territories with an open status of slavery, a measure that overruled the Missouri Compromise.
