Other way round. It was the disagreements between North and South that provoked the Civil War. The Compromise of 1850 was an attempt to keep the peace, but in order to get California admitted as a free state, Congress had to make concessions to the South, including the controversial Fugitive Slave Act, which allowed the employment of official slave-catchers to hunt down runaways. This raised the temperature of the whole debate.
