C. Northern laws that protected enslaved people
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was part of the Compromise of 1850 and was aimed at strengthening the laws regarding the return of escaped enslaved people. It was passed in response to the increasing number of northern states enacting personal liberty laws that protected escaped slaves and made it more difficult for slave owners to recover them.
