Question

The Compromise of 1850 provided for the entry of New Mexico as a free state which upset the balance of free and

slaves states in the United States.
True
False

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The Compromise of 1850 allowed California to enter as a free state, not New Mexico. New Mexico was actually a territory and this compromise allowed slavery to not be restricted, but that the people could choose what they wanted to do there, which was part of the compromise.

Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Have a wonderful day!
