The South gained several concessions in exchange for allowing California to enter the Union as a free state through the Compromise of 1850. These concessions included the implementation of a stricter Fugitive Slave Law, which required the return of escaped slaves, and the ability to decide the status of slavery in the territories of New Mexico and Utah through popular sovereignty. Additionally, the slave trade was abolished in Washington, D.C., but slavery itself remained legal, which the South viewed as a necessary compromise to maintain their interests.
