Answer:

1: What impact did the compromise have on different regions of the United States? The balance of the Senate was now with the Free states. • California was admitted as a free state. Slave trade was prohibited in Washington D.C. Slavery could be allowed in new Western Territories.

2:The passage of the Fugitive Slave Acts resulted in many free blacks being illegally captured and sold into slavery.
