Prejudice against enslaved individuals and free Black people significantly influenced the creation and enactment of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. This law reflected a societal belief that enslaved people were property, not human beings deserving of rights, leading to stringent measures that facilitated their capture and return to slavery. Additionally, it reinforced racial hierarchies and allowed for the legal persecution of free Black individuals, fostering an environment of fear and discrimination that permeated both Northern and Southern states. Ultimately, the act exemplified and intensified the racial prejudice that fueled sectional tensions in the lead-up to the Civil War.
