The Compromise of 1850 was soon to follow but the real catch of the same year was the Fugitive Slave Act. This act was invented so that the slaves of slaveowners, who took them to a slave-free state on a vacation or something, could not escape.

It was designed to help Pascal’s father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32).In the early 1800Õs, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage designed an automatic calculation machine.
