The Fugitive Slave Acts aimed at returning the escaped slaves to their owners/masters by law. These acts caused big disagreement between the South and the North because the 'free states' in the north did not enforce this law and were reluctant to force the slaves back, not to mention to let the masters' men search for the fugitives in the north. The first act was made in 1793, the second was made in 1850 (focused on the trafic through the Underground Railroad).
