How did northerners react to the fugitive slave law of 1850?

Northerners were not at all happy about the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. The law forced federal marshals to assist slave hunters in the pursuit and apprehension of runaway slaves. If they refused, they could face fines. In addition, these marshals had the power to deputize regular citizens and force them to assist as well. The act, in essence, forced people who were vehemently against slavery to participate in it.


How did people on both sides respond to the Fugitive Slave Act?

Southerners were generally quite happy that federal law finally enshrined their right to their property (escaped slaves). They had been angered by the fact that a Black person needed only to cross the midway point of the USA for them to arrive in Free State were the slave would no longer be pursued. By making it a federal law, the North could no longer ignore their requirement to return escaped property. Northerners were, generally speaking, outraged because they saw it as a victory for Southern interests. They saw it as reach by the South into Northern affairs. The North had outlawed slavery and now, they would be required to enforce it. A much smaller portion of Northerners actively supported abolition for the whole union and a law like this further entrenched slavery, making it a huge step backwards in their view and serving to anger them.


List the main elements of the slave code?

The main elements of slave codes typically included legal definitions of slaves as property, restrictions on movement and assembly, prohibitions on literacy and education, limitations on property ownership, and harsh penalties for resistance or escape. These laws were designed to maintain control and uphold the institution of slavery.

Is it illegal to give massage and free happy endings?

Free happy endings! Would that ending happen to be sex! If one pays for such a massage: for example by going to a certain (erotic) massage parlor, that massage is considered prostitution, and is illegal in most states. And trust me, that happy ending was not free!

Who was happy about Fugitive Slave Law and who was not?

Slave holders were in favor of the Fugitive Slave Law as it required that slaves that escaped to the North would have to be returned to their owners. In the North the anti slavery abolitionists were against the law. They were anti slavery to begin with and wanted slaves who escaped to the North to be considered freed slaves.


What groups did Millard Fillmore anger?

Fillmore angered the abolitionists and other anti-slavery groups in the North, by the Fugitive Slave Act, which was part of the Compromise of 1850. This compromise was engineered by Henry Clay. It was opposed by Fillmore's predecessor, Taylor.


How did the south feel about the Compromise of 1850?

The north had some supporters of the compromise while other northerners opposed it. While the northern democrats accepted the compromise, the northern Whigs thought it to be unfair to northern territories. They especially believed that this compromise would create a problem with fugitive slaves having to force slave owning farmers to waste productive agricultural time hunting down slaves.

Was the north happy or unhappy with the compromise of 1850?

The Abolitionists were not happy with it. But most Northerners were not Abolitionists, and they felt they were largely winning on the deal. This was why Congress had to make a big gesture of appeasement to the South in introducing the Fugitive Slave Act - asserting the rights of slave-ownership. This Act impacted so much on the lives of ordinary citizens in the North that Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' as an angry response to it, and it recruited many more people to the cause of Abolitionism. The Act had backfired badly.


How did southerners feel about the Compromise of 1850?

They agreed to the Compromise of 1850 - though they weren't too happy about California joining the Union as free soil. That was why Congress had to appease them by enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act - which managed to mobilise a lot of Northern sympathy with the runaways.


Why did the compromise of 1850 satisfy neither side?

The South was unhappy about the increasing difficulty of creating new slave-states. It looked as though they would always be outvoted in Congress, which would tend to pass laws that favoured the North at their expense. The North was not happy about the other half of the bargain - the Fugitive Slave Act, which was the big gesture of appeasement of the South, that they'd had to agree in order to get the Compromise accepted. This Act turned ordinary citizens into unpaid slave-catchers, which they greatly resented. (It caused Harriet Beecher Stowe to write 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' in protest.)


What did the south stand to lose as a result of the Missouri compromise?

The liked it because there was a balance of free and slave states and representation in congress.


Who would be in favor of the fugitive act?

Answer 1:Slave owners.Answer 2:Slave owners are one group. Various worker's groups in the North would be another. No one really wants to compete with slave labor - or compete with how little a runaway slave is willing to work for.And, sad to say, Abolitionists in those times were like Libertarians today. They were regarded as possibly right in theory, but impractical, a small group, and more loud than anything else. They weren't terribly numerous compared to the entirety of the Northern population. Thus most of the North was quite happy with a demographic of near exclusively Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and Scandinavian heritage.And thus would not wish runaway slaves to settle there.


Why weren't runaway slaves completely safe when they reached the free states in the North?

Oh honey, just because they made it to the free states doesn't mean they were suddenly living their best life. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 made it a real pain in the butt for runaway slaves, allowing slave catchers to hunt them down even in free states. Plus, racism was still alive and well up North, so they had to deal with discrimination and prejudice on top of everything else. It was a tough world out there for those seeking freedom.
