Answer:
The approval of the Fugitive Slave Act was seen as a betrayal by abolitionists.
Explanation:
The Compromise of 1850 was a compromise between the Northern and Southern states of the United States.
Since the independence of the United States in 1776 and until this compromise, slave states had dominated American politics thanks to the Three-Fifths Clause. But when President Taylor made proposals to incorporate the state of California in the Union in 1849, the balance of power changed. The compromise was that California was recognized as a free state, while the territories of Utah and New Mexico could later be admitted as either free or slave states. In addition, the Fugitive Slave Act was approved, which stated that a black fugitive in a southern state could be pursued in a northern state, and his capture could be claimed by a simple statement from his owner, with local authorities being obliged to pursue and capture him.
Answer:
The Compromise of 1850 was made up of five bills that attempted to resolve disputes over slavery in new territories added to the United States in the wake of the Mexican-American War (1846-48). It admitted California as a free state, left Utah and New Mexico to decide for themselves whether to be a slave state or a free state, defined a new Texas-New Mexico boundary, and made it easier for slave owners to recover runways under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. The Compromise of 1850 was the mastermind of Whig senator Henry Clay and Democratic senator Stephan Douglas. Lingering resentment over its provisions contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War.
