The North.

For this reason, Congress had tried to make a big gesture of appeasement to the South in the form of the Fugitive Slave Act - cracking-down on runaways.

This backfired badly, and 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' was written as a protest against it. The best-selling book caused a new spread of Abolitionist feeling in the North.

The Compromise of 1850gave something for both sides of the sectional battle, with the North perhaps coming out a bit better, with the balance of the Senate now being tipped in favor of the North. The South, however, scored a major victory with the Fugitive Slave Act. The act infuriated the North and was, perhaps more than anything, a push toward civil war.

It was looking favourable to the North. So Congress felt they had to make a big, dramatic gesture in favour of the South, in order to balance up.

That is why they passed the Fugitive Slave Act. It was saying "We can't hold out much hope of new slave-states. But my goodness, we'll crack down on those runaways."

The Act backfired badly, bringing new support for the Underground Railroad.

What brought reconstruction to an end in the south?

Reconstruction came to an end due to the Compromise of 1877(compromise came about because of the disputed 20 electoral votes from the Election of 1876). Part of the compromise was for Rutherford Hayes (candidate to receive the disputed votes which would make him president if Republican agreed to compromise) was to pull federal troops out of the South. Pretty much as soon as Hayes got into office he signed the orders to pull the troops which was the final straw to the Democrat's "Redeemer" government taking over. Any ground that Recontruction had made since 1863 was down the tubes. We would not see another effective stab at Reconstruction until 1963.


What is the comprimise of 1850?

The comprimise of 1850 is when Mr. Henry Clay comes back into action from our whole counrty falling apart. It was an intricate package of five bills, passed on September 4, 1850, defusing a four-year confrontation between the Slave_stateof the Southern_United_Statesand the Free_state_(USA) of the North that arose from expectation of Territorial_expansion_of_the_United_Stateswith the Texas_Annexation(December 29, 1845) and the following Mexican-American_War(1846--1848). It avoided secession or American_Civil_Warat the time and quieted sectional conflict for four years until the divisive Kansas–Nebraska_Act.The Compromise was greeted with relief though each side disliked specific provisions. Texas gave up its claim to New_Mexicobut received debt relief, El_Paso, and the Texas_Panhandle. The South did not get their keenly desired Pacific territory in Southern_Californiaor extension of the Missouri_Compromiseline allowing slavery anywhere south of Parallel_36°30'_north. As compensation, the South got the possibility of slave states via Popular_sovereigntyin the new New_Mexico_Territoryand Utah_Territory, which however were unsuited to plantation agriculture and populated by non-Southerners; a stronger Fugitive_Slave_Law_of_1850, which in practice outraged Northern public opinion; and preservation of slavery in the national capital, though the slave trade was banned there except in the Virginia portion of the District_of_Columbiawhich rejoined Virginia.The Compromise became possible after the sudden death of President Zachary_Taylorwho although a slaveowner himself tried to implement the Northern policy of excluding slavery from the Southwest. Whig_Party_(United_States) United_States_SenateHenry_Clay(Kentucky) designed a compromise which failed to pass in early 1850; in the next session of Congress, Democratic_Party_(United_States) Senator Stephen_Douglas(Illinois) and Whig Senator Daniel_Webster(Massachusetts) narrowly passed a slightly modified package over opposition by extremists on both sides including Senator and former Vice-President John_C._Calhounof South_Carolina.

What was the effect of the Missouri compromise?

The Missouri Compromise basically gave the pro-slaver states Missouri, and gave the non- slavery states Maine. This Compromise also enacted the 36-30 (36 Degrees North- 30 minutes) which made all states that entered the Union south of that line pro- slavery. This worked until they got to California, which the refused to split into two separate states. The working out of this can be found in the Compromise of 1850.
