Passed on September 18, 1850 by Congress, The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was part of the Compromise of 1850. The act required that slaves be returned to their owners, even if they were in a free state. The act also made the federal government responsible for finding, returning, and trying escaped slaves.

Allowed slave owners to retreive slaves even if they were in "free states" and anyone who harbored runaway slaves would be fined

I don't think this was fair because if the slave made it to a free state they should be free but on the other hand, they were considered property and it would be the owners retrieving "property" kinda like if a dog ran away and was retrieved

Need help! What effect did the geography of Mesopotamia have on trade?
MAXImum [283]
Mesopotamia was known for being in vicinity to the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. This allowed them to use an extensive amount of trade routes to modern day Turkey and Iran, as well as getting closer to where Asian and European traders were.

This, in turn gave them access to resources that they otherwise would not be able to find in their own territory, such as certain metals and wood.
