The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was more appealing to the South because it helped them recover runaway slaves who had escaped to the North. In contrast, the Act was strongly opposed by many in the North because it intensified the enforcement of slavery and required citizens to assist in capturing runaway slaves.
