Compromise of 1850  

Définition

  • Legislative compromise, passed by the U.S. Congress in 1850, that kept the United States together as tensions flared between slave states and free states. The compromise achieved this, in part, by introducing the Fugitive Slave Act, a disastrous law that strongly favored the interests of slaveholders.
