Question

Did the compromise of 1850 benefit the north or the
south

Answer 1

Both the North and South disliked some aspects of the Compromise of 1850. The south did not like that Clifornia would be a free state and that they could not trade slaves in Washington D.C. The north did not like the fact that slavery could be spread into new southwestern territories and they really didn’t like the fugitive slave act. The fugitive slave act forced northern states to return escaped slaves to their owners.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

It benefited the North because California was admitted to the Union as a free state and it benefited the South because it added the Fugitive Slave Act which made it illegal to help escaped slaves.
