"John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry (also known as John Brown's raid or The raid on Harper's Ferry)[2] was an effort by armed abolitionist John Brown to initiate an armed slave revolt in 1859 by taking over a United States arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Brown's party of 22[1] was defeated by a company of U.S. Marines, led by First Lieutenant Israel Greene.[3] Colonel Robert E. Lee was in overall command of the operation to retake the arsenal. John Brown had originally asked Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, both of whom he had met in his transformative years as an abolitionist in Springfield, Massachusetts, to join him in his raid, but Tubman was prevented by illness and Douglass declined, as he believed Brown's plan would fail." -Wikipedia

How did the Compromise of 1850 address the question of slavery in Washington, D.C.?
valkas [14]

Answer:

As a result of the Compromise of 1850, slavery continued in Washington DC, but slave trading was banned.

Explanation:

The Compromise of 1850 was a set of legislative initiatives carried out in the United States in 1850 to resolve a series of tensions arising with the colonization of California, driven by the so-called gold fever, and by annexation of territories after the US intervention in Mexico (1846-1848), which gave rise to territorial conflicts and the discussion about the legality of slavery in the new states.  

In addition to admitting California as a free state and Utah and New Mexico as slave states, the sale of slaves, though not slavery, was banned in Washington DC as part of the Compromise of 1850.
