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.

The events described in this account could be considered a turning point 3 points
inessss [21]

Answer: Native Americans in the British colonies experienced a drastic decline in population  due to disease and war brought by Europeans.

Explanation:

Native Americans and indigenous populations around the Americas lost more people to diseases that the Europeans brought than the wars the Europeans visited upon them. It is estimated that the Small Pox and the Plague decimated the Native population, reducing it by an estimated 90%.

The survivors were weak and desolate and so were easily defeated by the Europeans such as the British as seen by the destruction of the Pequots. This was a turning point that allowed the British to easily claim land in the original colonies and establish dominance there.
