Northerners opposed the Fugitive Slacve law because they were against slavery, so they didn't want to help capture runaway slaves because they thought that if they had got away, then leave them alone. Besides it would make slavery worse in a way.
The Fugitive Slave Act required Northerners to help return runaway slaves to their owners, even if they were in free states. This angered anti-slavery Northerners because they felt it violated their principles and forced them to participate in a practice they morally opposed. Additionally, it heightened tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the country.
