The Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 required northerners to assist in the capture and return of escaped slaves. This led to resentment among northerners who disagreed with slavery and did not want to be involved in enforcing southern - slave laws. It did not reunite the American public over slavery as it further polarized the nation. Southerners did not fear loss of power to northern law - enforcement in this context. And it did not immediately lead to the Civil War, though it was a contributing factor to the growing sectional tensions.
