Answer:
The correct answer is B. The Compromise of 1850 did not abolish the Fugitive Slave Law.
Explanation:
The Compromise of 1850 did not abolish the Fugitive Slave Law, but instead adopted a stricter law in this regard.
The Fugitive Slave Act adopted by this Compromise stipulated that every citizen of free-states should collaborate with the authorities of the southern states in case a slave escaped to the northern states. In turn, slaves did not have any type of right to reply if claimed by a white inhabitant of the southern states.
This law was considered unfair by many abolitionists in the north, and many citizens refused to comply with it, helping black slaves escape to Canada.
