Northerners responded to the Fugitive Slave Act by enacting legislation opposing it.

Further Explanation:

The Fugitive Slave Act was part of the Compromise of 1850. The goal of the Compromise of 1850 was to ease tensions between Northerners and Southerners.

To ensure that slave owners were able to retrieve their "property" (aka slaves), Congress enacted a stronger fugitive slave law. A fugitive is a person who escapes a situation. In this case, it refers to slaves who run away from their plantations and try to escape to free states in the North. To prevent this from happening, Congress made a law stating that Northern states (who already outlawed slavery) must help to catch and return run away slaves to their owners.

Many Northerners did not like this law (especially those were abolitionists). This is why some Northern states made laws against the Fugitive Slave Act. This only caused more tensions between the North and South. These tensions ultimately culminated in the beginning of the American Civil War.

What does the map reveal about political allegiances during the revolutionary war?
nikitadnepr [17]

When it came to allegiances during the American Revolution, there were very few colonists that remained neutral as most were either patriots or loyalist. Patriots also seemed to enjoy massive support in the coastal regions.

When the American Revolution broke out, the colonists were divided into:

  • Patriots - Those who wanted to be independent of Britain
  • Loyalists - Those who still wanted to remain under the British but with better rights

There was trend noticed that along the coast, most people supported the Patriots and this was most likely because they wanted better trade policies than the British were offering.

Even though there was strong Loyalist support at the beginning of the war, this gradually disappeared as the British committed more atrocities.

In conclusion, the colonists were mostly divided amongst the Loyalists and the Patriots.

You did not include the map which is why my answer was general.
