Under the Compromise of 1850, California was admitted as a free state, angering the Southern states. The Fugitive Slave Law was also enacted, requiring the return of escaped slaves to their owners.

The Dred Scott v. Stanford case further intensified tensions between the North and South, as the Supreme Court ruled that African Americans were not citizens and therefore did not have the right to sue in federal court.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act, passed in 1854, allowed the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether they would allow slavery, leading to violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas".

Overall, these events further fueled sectionalism and deepened the divide between the North and South, ultimately leading to the outbreak of the Civil War.
