O knihe

The Compromise of 1850 was a complex package of five bills, passed in September 1850, defusing a four-year confrontation between the slave states of the South and the free states of the North that arose from expectation of territorial expansion of the United States with the Texas Annexation (December 29, 1845) and the following Mexican-American War (1846-1848). It avoided secession or civil war at 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 Mexico but received debt relief, El Paso, and the Texas Panhandle. The South did not get their keenly desired Pacific territory in Southern California or extension of the Missouri Compromise line allowing slavery anywhere south of parallel 36°30' north.
