The fugitive slave act contributed to the war was the most controversial part of the Compromise of 1850. The purpose of the fugitive slave act was to track fugitive slave cases and bring them back to their owners.

Answer from: EricaLSH3588

The Fugitive Slave Act stated that an escaped slave apprehended in a free state would be returned to his master. A former Act in the 1790s had stated this, but was nullified later. The new Act came about as a part of the 1850 Compromise -- a final effort to avert the growing crisis between slave and free state factions in the government.

Anti-slavery proponents in the North disagreed with this new Act and often refused to enforce it, even though this new, stronger Act imposed fines on officials who refused to cooperate. Southern slave holders felt unduly deprived of what was considered (in legal terms of the time) their property, as some regions of the North encouraged escaped slaves to gather in their communities by this lack of enforcement. But because the new Act held that slaves had no legal rights to trial, a slaveholder had only to produce an affidavit to "prove" someone was an escaped slave. This led to a number of free blacks being kidnapped and sold into slavery.

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
