According to the California would enter the U.S. as a free state and the question of slavery in the rest of the Mexican Cession would be decided by popular sovereignty?

According to the Compromise of 1850, California was admitted to the United States as a free state, which meant that slavery was prohibited there. Additionally, the territories acquired from the Mexican Cession would determine the status of slavery through popular sovereignty, allowing the settlers in those territories to vote on whether to permit slavery. This compromise aimed to balance the interests of free and slave states, but it ultimately heightened tensions over the issue of slavery in the country.
