The answer to this question is The Compromise of 1850. First, as advocated by the South, Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act, a law that provided federal money-or "bounties"-to slave-catchers ... Fifth, Congress avoided a direct decision on the question of slavery in the western territories, employing the principle of popular sovereignty.
