What was the biggest difference between the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 and the Fugitive Slave Act that was part of the Compromise of 1850?
The earlier one was not very rigorous - people had ceased to pay it any attention. The later one was considerably toughened-up - in fact, it was almost meant as a macho gesture, as Congress wanted the South to feel that it was a serious concession to Southern interests (as part of the Compromise of 1850). This one demanded that members of the public must report anyone who looked as though they might be a runaway slave, on pain of a heavy fine. Northern citizens strongly resented being treated as unpaid slave-catchers, and this was one reason why the Compromise of 1850 did not work.

Who was the leader of South Carolina's reaction to the tariff of 1828?
South Carolina disliked the fact that they would have to bear the problems of the government. The tariffs were used to raise money for the government. The tariff was an abomination amongst the people whom lived there. They believed that Jackson singled South Carolina out just to make John C. Calhoun a stronger Presidential candidate.
What did Americans think of the compromise of 1850?
many Americans were outraged at this, mostly because of the fugitive slave act that had become a part of US law. by forcing the north to help capture the slaves, it made them feel as if they were part of the slave system. tensions remained high because neither of the sides got all that they wanted in the agreement. each time the act was enforced, it convinced the north that slavery was immoral and evil.
How did the northern states feel about counting the slaves?
The northern states were smaller states so they were out numbered by the south where the most,political power was located. The idea to count the slaves was a compromise so that other things could get done. Often people have to compromise to get something they want and this is what happened.
