Many U.S northern citizens were against slavery and thought since the North was all free states, that a slave in the north was automatically free. This was not the case. The bounty hunters would arrest the slave and even free African Americans. Despite the controversy, even Abraham Lincoln believed the law was wrong but agreed to enforce it.

However, at some point in time, he/she will also be brought back to the state of his original crime to face charges there.
