Abolitionists were a group of people who were ardently against the practice of slavery. This is key to understanding their disagreement of the Fugitive slave act. The fugitive slave act was part of the compromise of 1850 which sought to fix the short comings of the Missouri compromise. It established the practice of popular sovereignty to decide whether or not an incoming state would be a slave state or a free state. The fugitive slave act itself required that any slave that escaped from a slave state and into a free state was required by law to be returned to their owner. It also empowered bounty hunters to capture escaped slaves to collect on their bounties. However what this did was allow bounty hunters to capture many free African Americans and claim that they were a slave. For not only being forced to tolerate slaver but to actually aid the practice abolitionists were upset. However this emotion was only deepened by the fact that many free men were being taken as slaves.
