Compromise of 1850
Compromise of 1850.
1807
The Compromise of 1850 was the plan in which California entered the US as a free state and the Fugitive Slave Law was passed. This compromise aimed to address the issue of slavery expansion between free and slave states. The Fugitive Slave Law required that escaped slaves be returned to their owners, even if they were in free states.
The transatlantic slave trade was officially outlawed in the early 19th century. The United States banned the importation of slaves in 1808, and Britain passed the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807. However, the practice of slavery itself continued in many places until the mid-19th century.
It was one of the concessions to the South, in exchange for allowing California to enter the union as a free state.
Slavery was outlawed in Europe, and the importation of slaves was banned in the US in 1808. But there were enough children being born into slavery in the South to keep the institution viable. It was not until the Civil War (1861-1865) that it was abolished.

It got California admitted as free soil, on condition that two other states could be admitted as slave-states.
California is huge and the South wanted California to be part of the Confederacy.
California's request to be admitted into the Union caused problems because the state wanted to be admitted as a free state. If the government allowed that it would have upset the balance of slave and free states.
