It was counter-effective.

To compensate the South for allowing California to enter the USA as free soil, Congress felt it ought to make a big gesture in support of slave property, so it introduced the Fugitive Slave Act, making it an obligation to report anyone who looked like a runaway.

The Northern public greatly resented being treated like unpaid slave-catchers, and the Abolitionists were outraged at the immorality of the Act. Harriet Beecher Stowe was so angry, she wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', which drove the two sides further apart, and brought war closer.
