Thanks so much.
You are welcome.
The Compromise of 1850 did not include the Homestead Act. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand what the Compromise of 1850 was and then identify which of the given options were part of it.
The Compromise of 1850 was a series of measures passed by the United States Congress to address the issue of slavery and its expansion into the newly acquired territories from the Mexican-American War.
Now, let's evaluate the given options:
A. The Homestead Act: This act was not part of the Compromise of 1850. The Homestead Act was not passed until 1862, and its purpose was to encourage settlement of the western territories by granting 160 acres of public land to individuals who were willing to improve the land.
B. The Fugitive Slave Act: This act was indeed part of the Compromise of 1850. It strengthened the existing Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, making it easier for slave owners to recover escaped slaves and requiring citizens to assist in capturing and returning them.
C. The Indian Removal Act: The Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830 and was not part of the Compromise of 1850. This act was responsible for forcibly relocating Native American tribes from their ancestral lands to designated areas west of the Mississippi River.
D. The Missouri Act: There is no known legislation called the Missouri Act. It is possible that you meant to refer to the Missouri Compromise, which was an earlier agreement reached in 1820 to maintain a balance between free and slave states. The Missouri Compromise was not part of the Compromise of 1850.
Based on this information, the correct answer is B. The Fugitive Slave Act.
