How did the fugitive slave act and the deed Scott decision affect formerly enslaved African Americans living in the north?

The Fugitive Slave Act mandated the return of escaped slaves to their owners, making it risky for formerly enslaved African Americans living in the north as they could be captured and forced back into slavery. The Dred Scott decision ruled that African Americans, whether free or enslaved, were not U.S. citizens, which undermined their legal rights and protections. These laws increased fear and discrimination among the African American community in the north and pushed them to fight for abolition and equality.


Why did free African Americans in the south need a certificate of freedom?

Spain was in control of all the Americas (and yes I said americas not American) except the United States and and Haiti. But Spain's control has steadily weakened; Spain could not stop enslaved African Americans who escaped from plantations in Gorgia and Alabama from corssing over to Florida where they could join up with the seminoles (the seminoles had an unusual origin.
