The answer would be <u>option D</u>. The act of legislature that renewed Lincoln's passion againt slavery is the<u> Fugitive Slave Act.</u>
Explanation:
The Fugitive Slave Acts consisted of a pair of federal laws that allowed local governmets to seize and return any runaway slaves to their "owners" while also imposing penalties on anyone who helped the slaves escape.
When Lincoln took office in March 1861 he vowed to support the full enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act so long as the law was on the books, even though Lincoln believed that slavery and the Fugitive Slave Act were morally wrong. Lincoln however, was not an abolitionist himself, as he knew going agaisnt slavery was sanctioned by the highest law in the land, the Constitution.
