The Fugitive Slave Act was part of the Compromise of 1850, which was passed by the United States Congress on September 18, 1850.
The part of the Compromise of 1850 that indicated unscrupulous activities was the Fugitive Slave Act, which mandated that escaped slaves be returned to their owners even if they were found in free states. This law not only compromised the rights of individuals seeking freedom but also incentivized citizens to participate in the capture of runaway slaves, often through financial rewards. The act fostered a climate of fear and mistrust, as it required ordinary citizens to act against their moral convictions.
