Why did the southerners approve of the Compromise of 1850?
Because of the Fugitive Slave Act, where official slave-catchers were appointed to return runaways to their owners.
How was the compromise of 1850 more a triumph of sectional self-interest than a true national compromise?
By definition, a compromise is a resolution of conflicting sectional interests. 'National compromise' doesn't mean too much. The Compromise of 1850 was a rather desperate attempt to replace the successful Missouri Compromise, which had kept the peace for thirty years, but was rendered inoperable by the admission of California - too big to fit the geographical terms of the compromise. In the new deal, California would be admitted as free soil - a major concession by the South, who then needed to be appeased by the Fugitive Slave Act, allowing official slave-catchers to hunt down runaways. This did not keep the peace, as we know.
How did the compromise of 1850 affect the abolitionist movement?
Congress had to appease the South by appointing official slave-catchers to hunt down runaway slaves. This caused an emotive reaction in the North, and brought many more recruits to the Abolitionist movement.
What were some results of the Compromise of 1850?
With California admitted to the Union as free soil, it was clearly going to be more difficult to establish new slave-states, so this made the South feel threatened. To get this through Congress, they had to appease the South with the Fugitive Slave Act, employing official slave-catchers to hunt down runaways. This infuriated the Abolitionists and caused Harriet Beecher Stowe to write 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', which drew the attention of millions of Northerners who had not been especially interested in the slave debate.
How did the compromise of 1850 upset the south?
Mainly because it toughened-up the Fugitive Slave Act, allowing official slave-catchers to hunt down runaways. This recruited many new Abolitionists, and caused Harriet Beecher Stowe to write 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'.
