Best Answer

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 the compromise of 1850 appease the north and the south?

The Compromise of 1850 appeased both North and South in several ways. The South was granted a harsher treatment of fugitive slaves by the North.

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.)
