The acts

Compromise of 1850 Site 1 and 2/

Acomplishments were to make the nations united, but the solution was only temporary. Over the following decade the country's citizens became further divided over the issue of slavery. This compromise dealt with the spread of slavery to other territories in order to keep northern and southern interests in balance.

This compromise dealt with the five bills:

California was entered as a free state.

New Mexico and Utah were each allowed to use popular sovereignty to decide the issue of slavery. In other words, the people would pick whether the states would be free or slave.

The Republic of Texas gave up lands that it claimed in present day New Mexico and received $10 million to pay its debt to Mexico.

If this act/ compromise didnt happen we might still have slavery now a days and we would also have some nations in the world that arent united like America.
