The chief goal of compromises like the Compromise of 1850 was to preserve the balance between slave states and free states. These compromises aimed to address the growing tensions over slavery as the U.S. expanded westward. Such legislative acts were crucial in trying to maintain peace between North and South, even though they ultimately led to increased conflict.
