In 1850, the southern states refrained from seceding primarily due to the Compromise of 1850, which aimed to balance the interests of both slave and free states. This compromise included provisions such as the admission of California as a free state and the strengthening of the Fugitive Slave Act, which appeased southern concerns about slavery. Additionally, the fear of potential economic consequences and the lack of unified support for secession among southern leaders contributed to their decision to remain in the Union at that time. The desire to maintain political power and influence within the federal government also played a significant role in their restraint.
