Harriet Tubman was an African American abolitionist and political activist who played a key role in helping enslaved people escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad. Tubman worked closely with Northern abolitionists, who supported her efforts by providing resources, safe houses, and financial aid. In return, Tubman's courageous actions and firsthand experiences as a former slave helped to raise awareness about the horrors of slavery and strengthen the Northern abolitionist movement. Moreover, Tubman's involvement inspired and encouraged other abolitionists to fight for the cause of freedom.
The Fugitive Slave Act was an add-on to the 1850 Missouri Compromise. Many people, not just abolitionists didn't like it at all. Even people not against slavery did not believe it was their responsibility to help enforce it whether they received rewards or not. So basically, the abolitionists found allies among Northern people not wanting to get involved.

The Northern states had put an end to the practices, at least officially they did, but most of the Framers from the Northern states were just so opposed to slavery as were some of the Framers from the Southern states too. However many farmers from the Southerns were still financially dependent on slavery and wanted it to be continued, so the Southerners believed that each state had a right to decide on the issues itself.

Before and during the US Civil War, people opposed to slavery were called abolitionists. Most Americans in the North did not favor slavery, however, they were not activists in opposing it. Later, during the war, many Union soldiers saw the plight of slaves they met in military campaigns in the South and became more agreeable with the Northern abolitionists.
