Compromise of 1850, which was a series of laws enacted by the United States Congress to address the pressing issue of the spread of slavery into new territories. The Compromise of 1850 was an attempt to balance the interests of the North and South, and it ultimately preserved the Union for a few more years before the outbreak of the Civil War.
