Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Compromise of 1850 allowed for territories acquired from the Mexican-American War, besides California, to use popular sovereignty (the people living in the territory would vote on whether or not to allow slavery) to decide about slavery. This was a key provision because it addressed the issue of expanding slavery into new territories, which was a major point of contention between the North and South leading up to the Civil War.
