What stated the Compromise signed in 1850?
The 1850 Compromise tried to close the debate over the new acquisition after the Mexican-American War (1846-48). It redefined the boundaries of Texas, admitted California as a free state and applied popular sovereignty over the new territories, which meant that the people living in the state would have decided whether to have or not slavery. It also abolished slave trade in Washington D.C. (but not slavery). The compromise was mainly promoted by Whig Senator Henry Clay.
