Scenarios about 'compromise of 1850'
The Compromise of 1850 was a package of five separate bills passed by the United States Congress to defuse a political confrontation between slave and free states regarding the status of territories acquired after the Mexican-American War. This legislative agreement admitted California as a free state, organized Utah and New Mexico territories with popular sovereignty, settled Texas border disputes, enacted a stricter Fugitive Slave Law, and abolished the slave trade in Washington, D.C., temporarily postponing the American Civil War by a decade.
