There wasn't much violence about slavery in 1850, only a lot of verbal disagreement.

The 1850 Compromise heightened the tension, through the unpopularity of the Fugitive Slave Act, and the publication of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' as an angry protest against it.

Bloodshed followed from the next compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and tensions rose further with the Dred Scott verdict (declaring slavery legal in every state of the Union), the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and the John Brown rebellion.

By then, war was on its way.
