No, the word 'slave' is a common noun, a word for any slave anywhere.

The word 'act' is a common noun, a word for any act of any kind.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or a title; for example:

  • 'Dave the Slave', influential nineteenth century potter whose pieces are highly prized today.
  • Act Drive, Iowa City, IA
  • Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada
  • Act Tower, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan
  • The Fugitive Slave Act, 1850
