What was the position of notherners on slavery during the 1850s?
This question is hard to answer with just one viewpoint. In fact, in the early 1850's the idea of slavery was mixed among Northerners. For example, the clergy were sometimes in favor of slavery, as seen in "South Side view of Slavery" by Rev. Nehemiah Adams, but this was not always the case. When Harriet Beecher Stowe's book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was published in 1852, many northerners were outraged by the atrocities slave families had to go through. She is said to have described her book as actual events and occurrences that she had witnessed and put together in a "mosaic," as an artist would do. Her book opened the eyes of many northerners and westerners who had never experienced such things. With all this in mind, however, it cannot be said that all northerners and for that matter all southerners shared the same viewpoints. While the abolitionists, northerners who felt slavery was immoral, screamed louder than any other northerners, their ideas were not the only ones. Other northerners were afraid that such cheap labor would keep their prices uncompetitive in the market place. Therefore, it can be said that both economic and moral reasons dictated the views of the northerners in the 1850's. For the most part, however, the north did not find a need to have slaves because their population had increased over time and the labor force was extensive. While the north saw an increase in population, the south remained nearly stagnate.

Explain the Compromise of 1850 by giving its main provisions?
The Compromise of 1850 had several provisions. California entered the Union as a free state. There was still slavery in Washington, D.C. but no slave trade and Texas lost its claim to some of New Mexico. The most controversial part of the law was the Fugitive Slave Law which required northerners to return escaped slaves to their owners.
What did the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 require of all citizens?
. . . . . . . . . .The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required all citizens in helping Southern slaveholders acquire their slaves back. If they refused to comply, they could be fined or put in jail. Slaves that escaped from their owners often fled to the North and some were helped, an example is the Underground Railroad. This law was passed due to hopes of plantation owners of regaining their slaves or "property" back, but most Northerners chose to ignore it, which infuriated them.- S0L. . . . . . . . . .
What element of the compromise of 1850 provided widespread outage and opposition in the north?
The Fugitive Slave Act. It compelled members of the public to report anyone who looked as though they might be a fugitive slave, on pain of heavy fines. Most Northerners thought this was quite excessive. It also generated a new sympathy for runaways, and Abolitionists organised the Underground Railroad - a system of safe-houses, by which slaves could be smuggled into Canada. This ensured that the Compromise of 1850 could not hold, and the slavery debate would heat-up dangerously through the 50's, ending in war.
