Answer:

- Members of both groups were captured under the Fugitive Slave Law.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above statement correctly outlines the impact of the settlement of 1850 made between freedmen and the runaway slaves. At the time of the Mexican-American War, this agreement controlled the position of both and they both were entitled to additional rights. However, slavery was terminated in Washington D.C. and California became a part of the Union as a liberal state but the 'Fugitive Slave Act' declared that all the slaves must be returned back to their masters and compelled the free states' people to cooperate in it. This led to capturing of both the freedmen, as well as, the slaves.
