California entered the Union as a free state in 1850, meaning that slavery was not legally permitted. However, during the early years of statehood, there were instances of enslaved individuals brought by settlers, and some laws allowed for certain forms of forced labor. The state's Constitution explicitly prohibited slavery, and California's admission as a free state was part of the Compromise of 1850, aimed at balancing free and slave states in the Union.

How did the Compromise of 1850 affect slavery in California and the territories gained from Mexico?

The Compromise of 1850 allowed California to enter the Union as a free state, which heightened tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions. Additionally, it established popular sovereignty in the territories gained from Mexico, meaning that the residents of those territories could decide for themselves whether to allow slavery. This compromise aimed to balance the interests of both free and slave states but ultimately fueled further conflict over the expansion of slavery in the United States.
