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

At the Battle of Gettysburg, It was a crushing blow to rebel morale. Their nearly undefeated hero, general Lee, had been defeated. Of course, it was a huge morale boost for the Union, who had been grumbling about the war in the East because of the invincible Lee. In addition, after the Battle of Gettysburg, two great speeches were given, one by the president himself. He showed how the Union needed to keep fighting this war to keep the greatest nation from leaving the earth and so that the country could truly be one where all men (or people) could be equal. At Vicksburg, it was more of a military advantage. In addition to being a highly defensible location to put things of high importance in, it also completed the final piece of the Mississippi River. With the Union controlling all of the river, the Union could split the enemy in 2. This completed part of the Anaconda Plan.The Union could also use the river as a platform for transportation of troops, supplies, and as an artillery platform with their new ironclads. I think that the Battle of Gettysburg would have been more important. There was already low morale in the Union army. They were asking thrmselves why they were fighting a war to get people back into out country that didn't want to be here. Already, nearly 200 thousand casualties had taken place. They thought this was far too much to end slavery. If Lee had not finally been defeated, Vicksburg would never have happened, and the outcome of the civil war could have been very different.
