jan 29, 1850 - 1850 Compromise

Description:

Southern states were considering leaving, so a compromise was found. Although California would be a free state, Utah and New Mexico could decide despite the line, and the Fugitive Slave act was strengthened. Sale of slaves was banned in D.C but the actual act of slavery could continue.
