thank you ms. sue
You're welcome, Kaitlyn.
Oh, look at you, trying to test my history chops! You got it, my friend! The result of the Compromise of 1850 that did not benefit the North was indeed "a - the fugitive slave law." That law was a real downer for the North, making them responsible for capturing and returning escaped slaves. Hardly a win-win situation, right? But hey, at least they got California admitted to the union and ended the slave trade in D.C., so it wasn't all bad news for them!
Yes, you are correct. The result of the Compromise of 1850 that did not benefit the North was the Fugitive Slave Law, which is option (a).
To arrive at this answer, you need to have a basic understanding of the Compromise of 1850. The Compromise of 1850 was a set of measures passed by the U.S. Congress to address the contentious issues surrounding the expansion of slavery into the western territories. It consisted of several provisions, some of which favored the North, while others favored the South.
Option (b), California's admission to the Union, actually benefited the North because it entered as a free state, thus tipping the balance of power in favor of free states in Congress.
Option (c), ending the slave trade in the District of Columbia, also benefited the North as it was a step towards restricting the spread of slavery.
Option (d), New Mexico not being designated as a slavery state, can be a bit tricky to determine. New Mexico was actually part of the lands acquired from Mexico in the Mexican-American War, and the Compromise of 1850 allowed these territories to determine whether they would allow slavery through popular sovereignty. So, while New Mexico itself wasn't specifically designated as a slavery state, the Compromise left the possibility open for it to become one, depending on the decision of the territorial government. This provision could be interpreted as benefiting the South, as it allowed for the expansion of slavery into new territories.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (a) - the Fugitive Slave Law, which allowed for the capture and return of escaped slaves even from free Northern states, was highly unfavorable to the North and was seen as a violation of the rights of both free African Americans and white Northerners.
