Northerners largely reacted to Act 1 of the Fugitive Slave Act with outrage and resistance. Many viewed it as an infringement on states' rights and personal liberties, leading to the formation of abolitionist groups that actively worked to aid escaped slaves. The act intensified sectional tensions, with some northern states passing "Personal Liberty Laws" to counteract its enforcement. Overall, it galvanized anti-slavery sentiment in the North, contributing to the growing divide between the regions.

Southerners often reacted to abolitionists with anger and hostility, viewing them as a threat to their way of life and property rights. Some resorted to violence or intimidation tactics to silence abolitionist voices in the South.

Southerners reacted negatively to abolitionists because they saw them as a threat to their economic and social way of life, which depended heavily on slavery. They viewed abolitionists as undermining their property rights and inciting slave revolts. This led to heightened tensions between the North and the South in the years leading up to the Civil War.
President Roosevelt reacted to the creation of the Northern Securities Company by suing them. He wanted the company to be dissolved and argued that it violated antitrust laws.
Southerners expected Northerners to comply with the Fugitive Slave Act by helping to capture and return escaped slaves. However, many Northerners reacted with resistance, forming anti-slavery groups to hide and protect fugitive slaves and refusing to cooperate with authorities trying to enforce the law. This led to increased tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery.
They didn't ignore them. They reacted sharply against them. Under the new law, members of the public were obliged to report anyone who looked as though they might be a runaway slave, on pain of a heavy fine. This offended large numbers who had not felt strongly about the slavery question before, and it recruited many new people to the Abolitionist cause. This increased the numbers who helped to organise the Underground Railroad, the safe-house network which smuggled fugitives into Canada.
you must be taking the same American History class as me. I have the same question (lol)!
No. It was the Northern aboltionists who did. The South reacted with horror. It confirmed their worst fears about the prospect of a nationwide slave rebellion.
