The policy of containment focused on keeping communism and the Soviet Union's influence limited, rather than by trying to confront the Soviet Union directly or eliminate communism completely.  It influenced US foreign policy by prompting intervention in places like Korea to stop the spread of communism.

Context/details:

George F. Kennan recommended the policy of containment which set the tone for US involvement in world relations following World War II.  Kennan was an American diplomat in Moscow after World War II.  In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).  It really was a <u>long</u> telegram -- it totaled 8,000 words.  

In those days, everyone feared an ultimate confrontation between the USA and the USSR -- that the Cold War would someday explode into a massive heated conflict between the superpowers.  Kennan, in Moscow, had much foresight to see the internal problems the USSR had.  He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union and wait for their system to collapse under the weight of its own problems.  Kennan was right.  It took almost 50 years, but eventually the communist system in the USSR fell apart.  [The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics came to an end in 1991.]

What part of the Fugitive Slave Act particularly angered Northerners? If they did not enforce the act, they were subject to jail
Ne4ueva [31]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The part that particularly angered Northerners was that if they did not enforce the act, they were subject to jail time or a fine. Even if Northerners opposed slavery, they could still be neutral in terms of what they do to help slaves or not. The Fugitive Slave Act forced them to go against their own beliefs with this potential jail time or fine, which really angered them.

Have a wonderful day! :D
