What was the biggest difference between the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 and the Fugitive Slave Act that was part of the Compromise of 1850?
SwampSilly
The earlier one was not very rigorous - people had ceased to pay it any attention.
The later one was considerably toughened-up - in fact, it was almost meant as a macho gesture, as Congress wanted the South to feel that it was a serious concession to Southern interests (as part of the Compromise of 1850). This one demanded that members of the public must report anyone who looked as though they might be a runaway slave, on pain of a heavy fine. Northern citizens strongly resented being treated as unpaid slave-catchers, and this was one reason why the Compromise of 1850 did not work.

What was Daniel Webster biggest mistake?
Daniel Webster's biggest mistake was The Seventh of March Speech. In it, he gave his support to the Compromise of 1850, which included the Fugitive Slave Law of 185, requiring federal officials to recapture and return runaway slaves. The speech not only riled up abolitionists of the day, it irreparably harmed his legacy.

Which event did the most to split the North and South between the 1820 and 1860?
The annexing of the vast new territories from Mexico. The Missouri Compromise, which had held up pretty well, could not accommodate such enormous new states, and the Compromise had to be re-planned from scratch. It never worked. Probably the biggest factor was the Fugitive Slave Act, which was supposed to appease the South, but angered the North and stimulated Harriet Beecher Stowe into writing 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'.
