Answer:

Georgia Platform

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the boiling issue of slavery between the South and North with the potential of disunity and disintegration occurring over the passage of compromise 1850, there was need to douse the tension. This was done by Georgia through the adoption of a proclamation called the Georgia Platform.

The were able to hold a special convention where they drafted an official response to the threat trying to disintegrate the Us. The major point was that "As long as the North complied with the Fugitive Slave Act and would no longer attempt to ban the expansion of slavery into new territories and states" they are willing to accept the Compromise of 1850. Otherwise for these conditions, would make secession inevitable.
