In what compromise did California become a free state and the Southwest territories would decide the slavery issue?
The compromise of 1850
What states did the Compromise of 1850 allow the people to decide whether or not they wanted slavery?
The Compromise of 1850 allowed California to be admitted to the Union as a free state on September 9, 1850. The Utah Territory and the New Mexico Territory were formed by the Compromise of 1850 and these two territories could permit or prohibit slavery as a local option (popular sovereignty).
Who was the people that the compromise of 1850 allowed people to decide whether they wanted slavery?
The Compromise of 1850 did not allow any choice in the matter. It reflected the increasing difficulty of creating new slave-states. It was the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 that allowed the people of those two territories to vote on the slavery question. The only time it was tried (in Kansas), it led to terrible bloodshed, and was not tried again. The result was that Kansas rejected slavery.
What was the compromise of 1950?
There is not a Compromise of 1950 but there is a Compromise of 1850. The Compromise of 1850 consists of five laws passed in September of 1850 that dealt with the issue of slavery.
Where did the compromise of 1850 abolish slavery?
It abolished slavery in Texas.
