What did the compromise 1850 involve?

The Compromise of 1850 changed the basis for slavery in the US. Under the Missouri Compromise (1820), new territories and states would allow slavery if they were located below 36° 30' N latitude. At the time, this was mostly Mexican territory, but much of it was ceded to the US following the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and abolitionists did not want slavery extended to the area. The Compromise of 1850 left the issue of slavery up to the inhabitants of those new territories, i.e. popular sovereignty.

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.

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.
