  9. California • Compromise of 1850 • * California—one giant free state • * Texas paid off for New Mexico Territory • * New Mexico and Utah’s status (the issue of western expansion of slavery) to be determined via popular sovereignty (a proposal of local choice by a popular vote over slave/non-slave status) when a sufficient population was attained. • * Fugitive Slave Act (This particularly raised the hackles of Northerners. In the north several states passed “personal liberty laws” that prohibited use of local sheriffs from aiding the slave catchers. There were riots in Boston as mobs tried to free captured fugitives, and though the law prevailed, the cases introduced many more people to abolition than the societies’ speaking tours had been able to do.) • * End Slave Trade in DC--itself a compromise between abolitionists and slave holders.
