Final answer:

The Compromise of 1850 strengthened the Fugitive Slave Act, intensifying tensions between North and South.


Explanation:

The Compromise of 1850 was a series of legislations passed to address the issue of slavery and its expansion. Incorrectly described statement: The statement that suggests the Fugitive Slave Act is abolished is inaccurate. In reality, the Compromise of 1850 actually strengthened it, not abolished it. The Act made it easier for slave owners to reclaim fugitive slaves, further intensifying tensions between the North and South.
