The Fugitive Slave Act.
It reflected the increasing difficulty of creating new slave-states during the Western expansion.
As the Compromise of 1850 mostly favoured the North, Congress had to make a big gesture of appeasement to the South. It said, in effect, "We can't offer you much hope of new slave-states, but my goodness, we'll crack down on those runaways."

The Fugitive Slave Act was a law passed in 1850 that required all escaped slaves to be returned to their owners, making it illegal to harbor or assist runaway slaves. This law further inflamed tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery, contributing to the lead up to the Civil War.
Southerners had a problem with the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act because it allowed for the capture and return of escaped slaves from the South to their owners, even in free states. This led to conflicts with abolitionist sentiments in the North and raised concerns about the legality and morality of slavery. Additionally, some felt that the Act placed too much power in the hands of federal authorities, infringing on states' rights.
