2 detals of compromise of 1850

1. The Compromise of 1850 was a series of bills that aimed to address the contentious issue of slavery in the newly acquired territories from the Mexican-American War. One of the key measures included in the compromise was the Fugitive Slave Act, which required citizens to assist in the capture and return of escaped slaves, regardless of their personal beliefs on slavery.

2. The Compromise also included the admission of California as a free state, the organization of territories of New Mexico and Utah (without specific mention of slavery), and the abolishment of the slave trade (but not slavery itself) in Washington D.C. While the Compromise of 1850 temporarily resolved some of the tensions between the North and South, it ultimately failed to address the underlying issue of slavery and only postponed the inevitable conflict that would lead to the Civil War.
