How was the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise of 1850 affected New Mexico and contradicted each other?
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 established a line dividing free and slave territories, admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while leaving future territories to decide on slavery through popular sovereignty. In contrast, the Compromise of 1850 addressed territorial issues arising from the Mexican-American War, allowing New Mexico and California to determine their slave status through popular sovereignty. This created a contradiction, as the Missouri Compromise's fixed boundary was undermined by the flexible approach of the Compromise of 1850, leading to increased tensions over slavery in new territories. Ultimately, both compromises highlighted the growing divisions in the United States over the issue of slavery.
