California's application for statehood in 1850 exacerbated tensions over slavery, as the region's rapid population growth due to the Gold Rush prompted debates about whether it would enter the Union as a free or slave state. This controversy contributed to the broader sectional conflicts between the North and South, ultimately leading to the Compromise of 1850, which sought to maintain a balance between free and slave states. Additionally, California's admission as a free state angered Southern leaders, who felt their interests were being undermined, further straining national unity and foreshadowing the Civil War.
