Answer:

The Fugitive Slave Act upset many white Northerners because they were forced to help enslave others, and it unfairly resulted in the enslavement of free blacks.

Explanation:

The Fugitive Slave Act was a law passed by the US Congress, which ordered slaves who escaped to free states in the north to be returned to their owners. The bill was passed by Congress on September 18, 1850. The bill was part of the Compromise of 1850 that temporarily resolved the slavery dispute.

The Fugitive Slave Act ordered every federal sheriff to arrest a suspected blackman with a $ 1,000 fine. However, for each captured fugitive, the sheriff was given financial compensation or promotion. Proof of the slave's escape was provided by a written declaration from the slave owner. The accused slave had no right to a trial or to defend himself. Because of this, several free blacks were also "returned" as slaves to white landowners.
