The Fugitive Slave Act was one of the Compromises included in the 'Compromise of 1850'. The passage of this Act along with slaveholding rights in Texas allowed California to enter the union as a free state and prohibited the slave trade in the District of Columbia. This Act was particularly hated by abolitionists and stoked the fire of the Underground Railroad.
