texas gave up land and got 10 million to pay its debt to mexico
slavery was abolished in DC
The Compromise of 1850 included measures such as admitting California as a free state, organizing New Mexico and Utah territories based on popular sovereignty, and enacting a stricter Fugitive Slave Act.

Despite its intentions, the Compromise highlighted the deep divisions over slavery in the United States.
