How did the north and south felt about the fugitive slave act and the Kansas-Nebraska Act?
Both these Acts polarised the two sections, and brought war closer. The Fugitive Slave Act obliged all members of the public to report anyone who looked though they might be a runaway, on pain of a heavy fine. The South was delighted at this endorsement of slave power, but the North strongly resented being treated as unpaid slave-catchers, and Harriet Beecher Stowe felt so strongly about it that she wrote 'Uncle Tom' Cabin'. The Kansas-Nebraska Act was a hopeful attempt to put the slavery question to the vote in each newly-created state of the Union. The South was pleased, because this could allow for new slave-states. Most of the North did not have strong feelings about it, though the Abolitionist lobby was outraged. But the bully-boys from both sides saw the opportunity for invading this thinly-populated territory, intimidating voters and disrupting the polls. The result was 'Bleeding Kansas', an obvious curtain-raiser for the oncoming war.

Unfortunately, like some acts, this was taken advantage of. Some southerners would find any colored man/woman, whether they be free and had papers proving so, or they be a fugitive slave, and turn the person(s) in to be sent to a southern plantation where they would be enslaved once again
