Texas would relinquish the land it was arguing with Mexico over but would receive ten million dollars in compensation (which it would use to pay off its debts to Mexico); the slave trade would be abolished in Washington, D.C., though slavery itself was still permitted; California was admitted as a free state; and the Fugitive Slave Act, which punished people harboring fugitive slaves and allowed for the return of those slaves to their masters was passed.
