The sleeves were treated horribly and some escaped to safe state

slave catchers went after the escaped slaves to bring them back to their owners some were lucky and escaped to safe states.

than California wanted to become a state it wanted to be a free state but if it became a free state there would be more free states than slave states the slave states did not like that.

Congress wanted everyone to be happy so they said California can join as a free state but if slave catchers find escaped slaves they can bring them back to their owners no exceptions if anyone is found helping slaves they Will be put in jail.
