The Compromise of 1850 served to add balance for the North and the South. This Compromise stated that every time a State was added the people voted on if it was a slave state or not. When people get a say in something it is called Popular Sovereignty. Although this seems to be a good plan to keep both the North and South happy it did cause problems. One problem that was caused was bleeding Kansas. In the end it really just brought everyone closer to wanting to start a war...the Civil War.
