21 May
Discuss: What does the following quotation mean? “A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided (A. Lincoln, 16 June 1858.)”
Today, I will be able to explain the various views of slavery in the West and the goals of the Compromise of 1850.

Wilmont Proviso
Proposed by David Wilmont, PA
Wilmont was not anti-slavery (an abolitionist)
Wilmont and other northern politicians felt that “slave power” was increasing and the President (Polk) was willing to fight for the interests of slave states.

Popular Sovereignty
People in the state or territory will decide whether they would be a free or slave state/territory. This would be decided by popular vote.

Fugitive Slave Law
Required all citizens to assist and capturing slaves or face jail/fine.
Judges received $10 for sending an accused runaway to the South and only $5 if they were set free.
This agitated many northerners because now they felt as though they were part of the slave system.

Compromise of 1850: California was admitted as a free state; Utah and New Mexico would get to exercise popular sovereignty; Slavery in D.C. is outlawed; a strict fugitive slave act was passed to make the South happy.
