The action that was not considered part of the Compromise of 1850 is:
(C) Texas’s borders were extended to Santa Fe.
The Compromise of 1850 encompassed several key measures:
- Admittance of California as a free state (D)
- Implementation of popular sovereignty in New Mexico and Utah territories (A)
- Abolition of the slave trade in Washington, D.C. (B)
- Creation of the Fugitive Slave Act (E)
The extension of Texas's borders to Santa Fe was not part of the Compromise of 1850; it was a resolution to a boundary dispute between Texas and New Mexico that was resolved separately through the Texas Boundary Act of September 1850.
