According to the Compromise of 1850, California entered the Union as a free state. This compromise aimed to balance the interests of slave and free states, and while it admitted California as free, it also included provisions for stronger fugitive slave laws and allowed territories of New Mexico and Utah to decide on slavery through popular sovereignty.
