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.

Northerners were most pleased that California was admitted as a free state. The south was pleased that the fugitive slave act REQUIRED assistance in capturing runaway slaves or face imprisonment.
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 intensified opposition to slavery in the North by requiring northerners to assist in the capture and return of escaped slaves. This led to heightened tensions between pro- and anti-slavery factions, as many people in the North resented being forced to participate in the enforcement of slavery. The act also sparked a wave of resistance and defiance, with some northerners aiding fugitive slaves in their escape.
