In the Compromise of 1850, the South gained several key concessions, including the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act, which required that escaped slaves be returned to their owners even if they were found in free states. Additionally, the compromise allowed for popular sovereignty in the territories of New Mexico and Utah, enabling settlers to decide on the legality of slavery. These measures aimed to appease Southern interests and maintain the balance of power between free and slave states.
