Answer:

the Fugitive Slave Act was amended and the slave trade in Washington, D.C., was abolished. Furthermore, California entered the Union as a free state and a territorial government was created in Utah. However, The Compromise of 1850 overturned the Missouri Compromise and left the overall issue of slavery unsettled.
