jan 24, 1850 - Compromise of 1850

Description:

The united states have just emerged from the war with Mexico, and they have an opportunity to gather more land in what is now Texas. The government opted to put a hold on the acquisition of Texas because they also had their eyes on California and Oregon. The question here is: What kind of state would Texas have to be if there is already a balance between Slave states and non-Slave states?
