compromise of 1850









































the compromise of 1850 was a package of five separate bills passed by the united states congress in september 1850 that defused a political confrontation between slave and free states on the status of territories acquired in the mexican–american war. it also set texas's western and northern borders and included provisions addressing fugitive slaves and the slave trade. the compromise was brokered by whig senator henry clay and democratic senator stephen douglas with the support of president millard fillmore.

mostly southern democrats and whigs supported the compromise, northers from both parties and whigs mainly opposed the compromise. if georgia alexander stephens and seven other southern whigs voted like other southerners, the clayton compromise would have survived and passed.
