Hồng Bảo disliked studying, so Thiệu Trị did not like him, and lost his succession of the throne. Thiệu Trị died in 1847, and appointed Hồng Bảo's younger brother Hồng Nhậm as successor. In 1854, Hồng Bảo plotted a rebellion against Tự Đức and was forced to commit suicide. Miên Bửu was suspected of taking in this plot, but there was no evidence.

It was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas.
