California entered the Union as a free state in 1850 as part of the Compromise of 1850. This compromise aimed to address the sectional tensions between free and slave states following the Mexican-American War. In addition to California's admission, the compromise included provisions such as the strengthening of the Fugitive Slave Act and allowing popular sovereignty in other territories, which permitted those territories to decide on the issue of slavery themselves. This was a significant moment in the buildup to the Civil War, reflecting the deep divisions in the nation.
