Yes, I would definitely support the Compromise of 1850 as it was fundamental to defuse a four-year political confrontation between slave and free states on the status of territories acquired during the Mexican–American War (1846–1848).
All five separate bills were essential, especially when taking into account their influence over the abolitionist movement.
1. It was import to admit California as a free state.
2. Utah and New Mexico territory had to decide on slavery by popular sovereignty.
3. Texas's boundaries were set at their present form, avoiding further conflicts.
4. Slavery trade was abolished in the District of Columbia - which is the first step to abolish slavery itself.
5. The Fugitive Slave Act was strengthened, which furthered the abolitionist cause.
