What is the comprimise of 1850?

Answer 1

The comprimise of 1850 is when Mr. Henry Clay comes back into action from our whole counrty falling apart. It was an intricate package of five bills, passed on September 4, 1850, defusing a four-year confrontation between the Slave_stateof the Southern_United_Statesand the Free_state_(USA) of the North that arose from expectation of Territorial_expansion_of_the_United_Stateswith the Texas_Annexation(December 29, 1845) and the following Mexican-American_War(1846--1848). It avoided secession or American_Civil_Warat the time and quieted sectional conflict for four years until the divisive Kansas–Nebraska_Act.The Compromise was greeted with relief though each side disliked specific provisions. Texas gave up its claim to New_Mexicobut received debt relief, El_Paso, and the Texas_Panhandle. The South did not get their keenly desired Pacific territory in Southern_Californiaor extension of the Missouri_Compromiseline allowing slavery anywhere south of Parallel_36°30'_north. As compensation, the South got the possibility of slave states via Popular_sovereigntyin the new New_Mexico_Territoryand Utah_Territory, which however were unsuited to plantation agriculture and populated by non-Southerners; a stronger Fugitive_Slave_Law_of_1850, which in practice outraged Northern public opinion; and preservation of slavery in the national capital, though the slave trade was banned there except in the Virginia portion of the District_of_Columbiawhich rejoined Virginia.The Compromise became possible after the sudden death of President Zachary_Taylorwho although a slaveowner himself tried to implement the Northern policy of excluding slavery from the Southwest. Whig_Party_(United_States) United_States_SenateHenry_Clay(Kentucky) designed a compromise which failed to pass in early 1850; in the next session of Congress, Democratic_Party_(United_States) Senator Stephen_Douglas(Illinois) and Whig Senator Daniel_Webster(Massachusetts) narrowly passed a slightly modified package over opposition by extremists on both sides including Senator and former Vice-President John_C._Calhounof South_Carolina.
