In 1849, California requested permission to enter the Union as a free state, which could compromise the balance between the US Senate Free State and slavery. On January 29, 1850, Senator Henry Clay attempted a compromise and made a series of resolutions to avoid the inter-Korean crisis. As part of a compromise in 1850, the "Fugitive Slavery Law" was revised to abolish the slave trade in Washington, DC. In addition, California entered the federal state as a free state and established a territory government in Utah. In addition, measures were taken to solve the border dispute between Texas and New Mexico, which again established the territorial government in New Mexico.
