The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 heightened tensions over slavery by allowing settlers to determine whether slavery would be allowed in those territories, effectively overturning the Missouri Compromise of 1820.

Tensions and violence over slavery spread outside Kansas
From 1854-1861, a variety of conflicts, referred to as 'Bleeding Kansas,' occurred in the territory (and soon-to-be state) of Kansas between pro-slavery and anti-slavery Americans. These conflicts had the general effect of adding to national tensions between the South and the North and may be said to have contributed to the outbreak of the American Civil War.
Yes, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was enforced and respected by some northerners in order to uphold the Union. It was part of the Compromise of 1850 that aimed to maintain peace between the North and the South by addressing issues related to slavery. However, the Act also heightened tensions between the two regions and was one of the factors that eventually led to the Civil War. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed for popular sovereignty in the territories and led to "Bleeding Kansas," was a separate piece of legislation that further exacerbated tensions over slavery.
