This statement is NOT true of the Compromise of 1850. The Compromise of 1850 addressed issues related to territories acquired during the Mexican-American War and allowed for popular sovereignty in some areas, but it did not specifically relate to slaves below the Missouri Compromise line. The Missouri Compromise designated certain areas as free or slave states based on latitude, but the Compromise of 1850 was focused on new territories and states.
