the southerners believed that article 4, section 2, (Fugitive Slave Act) gave them the right to turn in/retrieve+return fugitive slaves and send them back down to the south.
Unfortunately, like some acts, this was taken advantage of. Some southerners would find any colored man/woman, whether they be free and had papers proving so, or they be a fugitive slave, and turn the person(s) in to be sent to a southern plantation where they would be enslaved once again
