Answer:

To answer the question about how he fugitive slave act led to sectionalism and the civil war,

As a result of the previously established Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, the people were forced to pick sides; if they wanted slavery to end or not.

As a result of this, the South and the North became increasingly hostile which eventually led to the South breaking away and the Civil War.
