It sparked-off a miniature version of the forthcoming Civil War, when the slavery question was put to the vote in Kansas. Terrorists from both sides crossed into the state to intimidate voters and cause mayhem. One of these was John Brown.

How did the fugitive slave act cause tension between the north and south?

The Fugitive Slave Act required the return of escaped slaves to their owners, increasing tensions as many in the North opposed the practice of slavery. It also empowered slave catchers to capture fugitive slaves in free states, leading to backlash from abolitionists and free-state residents who resisted enforcement of the law. This deepened the divide between the North and South over the issue of slavery and states' rights.

How did the furgitive slave act and the kansas Nebraska act further divide the north amd the south?

Well to begin with, the North already didn't like slavery. They tried to put a stop to it. The Fugitive Slave Act required all citizens to help catch runaways. Anyone who aided a fugitive could be fined or imprisoned. Many people in the South believed the law would enforce Northerners to recognize the rights of Southerners. The Northerners didn't want to catch any runaway slaves because they didn't like slavery. The Kansas-Nebraska Act pushed the North and the South more away because Franklin Pierce (A New Hampshire Democrat) supported the Fugitive Slave Act and he became president. Franklin Pierce intended to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act, and His actions hardened the opposition.
