Compromise of 1850

The Compromise of 1850 had a few Northern advantages and a few Southern advantages. The bill consisted of admitting California into the Union as a free state, allowing popular sovereignty to determine the slavery issue in Utah and New Mexico territories, resolved the Texas/Mexico border dispute, and Texas recieves 10 million dollars, slave trade was abolished in the District of Columbia, and there was a strong federal enforcement on the new Fugitive Slave Act. For awhile the Compromise of 1850 eased tensions over slavery between the North and South, but over time it became clear that a permanent solution would be needed to fix this major problem taking over America.
