How did both the Fugitive Slave Act and the transcontinental railroad heighten sectional tensions?
The Fugitive Slave Act, which allowed runaways to be officially hunted down and returned to their owners, caused outrage among Abolitionists and recruited many new members to their cause, helped by the publication of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', which was written as a response to the Act. The proposed Transcontinental Railroad also divided the nation. The South wanted it to pass through New Mexico, but Chicago was the preferred hub. To persuade the South to contribute to the cost, Congress had to appease them with a new Act(Kansas-Nebraska Act) that would allow the slavery issue to be put to a local vote in each territory coming up for statehood. The result was a campaign of intimidation by cross-border terrorists, which vividly foreshadowed the Civil War.
