Answer:

Hey there!

The compromise of 1850 attempted to solve some problems the US was facing with slavery, and the status of the newly gained land from Mexico. For example, the compromise put an end to slave trade in the nation's capital- Washington DC, but made it easier for runaway fugitive slaves to be returned to their plantations in southern states.

Let me know if this helps, or if you want a better explanation :)
