The Compromise of 1850, brokered by Stephen Douglas, was an attempt to avoid the secession of Southern states by, among other things, making laws harsher on fugitive slaves, and giving partial sovereignty to states that preferred slave ownership. History tells us that while the compromise worked for 4 years, it did not prevent the US Civil War in 1861.
