The Compromise of 1850 is a set of laws dealing with the issue of slavery. California was admitted as a free state, upsetting the groups in favor of slavery and satisfying those opposing it in the U.S senate. In Addition, California abolished the slave trade by entering the Union as a free (no slavery) state.
It was met with opposition but Wilson was determined to
establish such an organization to prevent another great war from happening
again. Unfortunately, many in the Senate
disapprove of the proposal but Wilson still wanted this to come true. He became ill as a result and this led to his
death.
