While debates were raging in Congress over the Compromise of 1850, Georgia politicians were deciding if the state would accept the terms of the compromise. On December 10, 1850, the Georgia state convention adopted the Georgia Platform which resolved that:
if the thirteen original parties to the contract, …scarcely developed, their revolutionary trials and triumphs, still green in memory, found Union impossible without Compromise, the thirty one of this day, may well yield somewhat, in the conflict of opinion and policy, to preserve that Union… the rejection of propositions to exclude slavery from the Mexican territories and to abolish it in the District of Columbia, and whilst she does not wholly approve, will abide by it as a permanent adjustment of this sectional controversy.
Georgia maintained its attachment to the principle that the Congress had no power to regulate slavery in the territories, but it would trade principle for a fair deal. Georgia could have slavery with Union, provided the finality of the agreement. Georgia could give a little to get a little. Read the excerpt below describing Georgia’s position on the Compromise of 1850:
the State of Georgia in the judgment of this Convention, will and ought to resist even (as a last resort,) to a disruption of every tie which binds her to the Union, any action of Congress upon the subject of slavery in the District of Columbia, or in any places subject to the jurisdiction of Congress incompatible with the safety, domestic tranquility, the rights and honor of the slave holding States, or any refusal to admit as a State any territory hereafter, applying, because of the existence of slavery therein, or any act prohibiting the introduction of slaves into the territories of New Mexico and Utah, or any act repealing or materially modifying the laws now in force for the recovery of fugitive slaves.
That it is the deliberate opinion of this Convention, that upon the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Bill by the proper authorities depends the preservation of our much loved Union.
Based on both excerpts from the Georgia state convention which became known as the Georgia Platform, what does Georgia threaten to do if their conditions are not met?
