The most accurate response would be:
**It had little effect since Indiana did not allow slavery.**
Indiana was a free state, and while the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 caused tension and unrest, particularly among those who opposed it, the fundamental legal status of Indiana as a non-slave state meant that the act did not have the same direct impact there as it did in slave states. However, it did contribute to the broader discussions around slavery and abolition in the region.
