Harriet Tubman helped lead enslaved African Americans to freedom through the Underground Railroad, a network of safe houses and routes. She also supported the resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act by actively aiding fugitive slaves in their journeys to freedom in the North. Tubman's bravery and determination made her a key figure in the fight against slavery and the oppressive laws that supported it.
The Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 made it easier for slave owners to recapture escaped slaves, but it also stirred controversy and resistance in the North. The law did result in the capture and return of some fugitive slaves, but it also heightened tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery and contributed to the growing conflict that eventually led to the Civil War.

No the Fugitive Slave Act gave captured esaped slaves back to their owners.
The Fugitive Slave Act required that free states assist in capturing and returning escaped slaves, severely limiting the rights of free African Americans in the North. It allowed for the capture and detention of any African American accused of being a fugitive slave, subjecting them to potential re-enslavement. This legislation heightened fear and insecurity among free African Americans, as they could be captured and sent into slavery despite their status as free individuals.
