Answer:

While the Fugative Slave Act made Northaners more defensice of slavery and the South more defensive of slavery, this also lead to the Canning of Charles Brookes whom made attacks towards a Southern Senator and waa beaten with his cane while the North was angered and the South was happy.

The killing of the radical abolitionist, John Brown by confederate leader, Robert Lee also sparked hatred.
