Explanation:

Question 1

The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required citizens in free states to assist in capturing and returning runaway enslaved people. Option A is incorrect as it's not about taxing for freed people. Option C is wrong as it doesn't involve donating land. Option D is incorrect as it's not about military service for guarding plantations. So the correct answer is B.

Under the Fugitive Slave Act, alleged runaway enslaved people were denied a trial by jury. Options A (land ownership), B (voting), and D (education access) were not the rights denied in the context of their capture under this act. So the correct answer is C.

The Fugitive Slave Act led to the growth of the abolitionist movement and more use of the Underground Railroad. Option A is incorrect as it didn't cause southern immigration increase. Option C is wrong as slavery didn't end immediately in border states. Option D is incorrect as there was no peaceful agreement over slavery. So the correct answer is B.

Answer:

B. Help catch and return runaway enslaved people when requested
