The Compromise of 1850 might have eased sectional tensions. The laws passed in 1850 aimed at resolving the issue over the spread of slavery in the territories. It included the admission of California as a free state and the Fugitive Slave Act. Thus, it was believed that the Compromise of 1850 might ease the sectional tensions as the Compromise preserved the Union and peace for that moment.
