Question

3.2.4 practice: Compromises for free and slave states

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, the compromise of 1850 was not enough to resolve the differences between the north and south. Throughout the 19th century, the north was constantly making compromises to appease the south regarding slavery as they knew with time their policies frustrated the southern states more and more. The compromise of 1850 made it so California would be a free state, but potential new territories could have slavery if voted by that state. However, the majority of new territories were eventually occupied by northerners, meaning they would become free states as well, angering the South. In general, it's safe to say that the compromise did not resolve the differences as not even two decades later, the south attempted to break from the union and become the confederacy.
