Answer:

Henry Clay rose in the Old Senate Chamber to begin the most important debate of his career and to forge one last compromise. The Compromise of 1850 was made up of five bills that attempted to resolve disputes over slavery in new territories added to the United States in the wake of the Mexican-American War (1846-48).
