The Compromise of 1850 effectively disregarded the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had established a line dividing free and slave states.

This shift contributed to increased tensions over slavery in the United States.
What were the three compromises on slavery?
The three key compromises on slavery in U.S. history are the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. The Missouri Compromise allowed Missouri to enter as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, and established a boundary for slavery in the Louisiana Territory. The Compromise of 1850 admitted California as a free state while allowing popular sovereignty in other territories and included the Fugitive Slave Act. The Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise, allowing settlers in those territories to determine the status of slavery through popular sovereignty, leading to significant conflict known as "Bleeding Kansas."
