Which component of the compromise of 1850 most enraged northerners?

a) the kansas-nebraska act
b) the acceptance of missouri as a slave state
c) the fugitive slave act
d) the nullification of the missouri compromise
e) allowing western states to vote for slavery

Correct answer choice is :

C) The Fugitive Slave Act

Explanation:

The south got by the strengthening of the fugitive slave law, the north got a new free state, California. Texas lost empire but was paid with 10 million dollars to pay for its debt. Slave trade was banned in Washington DC, but slavery was not. One of the parliamentary bills that were passed as part of the Compromise of 1850 was a new variant of the Fugitive Slave Act. At first, Clay proposed a treasury bill including these measures. Calhoun criticized the plan and asked that the North cease its efforts to restrict slavery.

the first two years of american revolution was not very encouraging for the patriots since the british were far superior in sea power, arms and troops.
