1) The Fugitive Slave Act strengthened the institution of slavery by allowing slave owners to reclaim escaped slaves even if they had been living in free states. This had the effect of discouraging escape attempts by enslaved individuals and maintaining the profitability of slavery.
2) The Fugitive Slave Act intensified conflicts between Northern and Southern states by requiring free states to cooperate in the enforcement of slavery. This led to significant resistance and defiance from Northern abolitionists who opposed the act and supported the Underground Railroad to help escaped slaves reach freedom in Canada.
