The chief goal of the Compromise of 1850 was to preserve the balance between slave states and free states.
The Fugitive Slave act was part of the Compromise of 1850. The compromise of 1850 said any new states would be free states as long as they passed the fugitive slave act. This act made Northerners turn in runaway slaves.
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required citizens to assist in capturing runaway slaves and denied fugitives the right to a trial by jury. It increased the power of slaveholders and federal authorities to recapture escaped slaves, leading to heightened tensions between Northern and Southern states. The law was highly controversial and fueled the abolitionist movement in the United States.
The Fugitive Slave Act was the provision of the Compromise of 1850 that was designed to appeal to slave states. It allowed for the capture and return of fugitive slaves who had escaped to free states. This provision aimed to address the concerns of slave states by improving the enforcement of slave owners' property rights.
