It was meant to be an act of appeasement to the South, because the rest of the Compromise of 1850 mostly favoured the North.
It said, in effect "We can't offer you much hope of new slave-states. But my goodness, we'll crack down on those runaways."
It turned ordinary citizens into unpaid slave-catchers, and they strongly resented this. Harriet Beecher wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' as a protest against it.
This book aroused great support for the 'Underground Railroad' - the safe-house system that smuggled fugitive slaves into Canada.
All of this brought civil war nearer.
