Question

Which provision was NOT part of the compromise of 1850? Answer choice, pick one
a. California became a free state
b. it abolished the fugitive slave law
c. slavery was discontinued in Washington d.c
d. popular sovereignty would decide if new Mexico and Utah would become a free or slave state

Answer 1

Explanation:

The compromise also included a more stringent Fugitive Slave Law and banned the slave trade in Washington, D.C. The issue of slavery in the territories would be re-opened by the Kansas–Nebraska Act, but many historians argue that the Compromise of 1850 played a major role in postponing the American Civil War.
