By the 1850s the South had large numbers of?
They had large numbers of slaves... if that's what you're looking for. The Compromise of 1850 led to the Fugitive Slave Act, and that tightened the control of any runaway slave. Also, even when the slave tradewas stopped, the practice of slavery wasn't. Therefore, many slave owners bred the slaves they had a lot more rigorously than they would have if slaves were still being imported. because of that, the number of new slaves every year increased.
What is the Fugitive slave act of 1850 and what was the significance of the act?
Under the Fugitive Slave Law, any person arrested as a runaway slave had almost no legal rights. Many runaways fled to Canada rather than risk being caught and sent back to their master. The Fugitive Slave Law also said that any person who helped a slave escape, or even refused to aid slave catchers, could be jailed. Both sides were unhappy with the Fugitive Slave Law, though for for different reasons. Northerners did not want to enforce the law. Southerners felt the law did not do enough to ensure the return of their escaped property (slaves; slaves were considered property). Hope this helps! Source: History Alive!

If the slave trade was banned in the US how did slavery still thrive?
It was only the international slave trade which was banned after 1808. After that time it was illegal to import any new slaves from Africa. Domestic slave trading, within the US, was still perfectly legal. All children born to slave mothers were also slaves, so there was a source of more slaves in this natural increase. Some illegal importation also continued. Men in this trade, called "blackbirders", often landed slaves in Mexico or Texas. Texas did not become a part of the US until 1845. From Mexico or Texas the illegally imported slaves could be brought overland into the US.
