Temporary Compromise

Question 11 • Survey of U.S. History - SS3313 IC

Which provisions were included in the Compromise of 1850? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
New Mexico entered the Union as a slave state.
B
California entered the Union as a free state.
C
A more effective fugitive slave law was passed.
D
The slave trade in the District of Columbia was banned.
E
Texas doubled in size.

Explanation

The Compromise of 1850 admitted California as a free state, passed a stronger Fugitive Slave Act, and banned the slave trade in Washington, D.C. New Mexico was organized as a territory, not admitted as a slave state. Texas gave up land claims in exchange for federal debt relief, rather than doubling in size.
