Answer 1

It is option 1, The Fugitive Slave Law was part of the 1850 compromise treaty, in which this law was passed to increase the penalties against slaves and those who supported their actions. For this reason, slaves fled the country, to Canada and Mexico, during the era of legal slavery in the United States.
