Mainly, the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. Due to her helping slaves escape to freedom. She also violated various state and local laws pertaining to "theft of property" and "abetting a runaway" and being herself a runaway.

She also helped John Brown recruit men for the Harper's Ferry incident. Since that was actually to be an armed rebellion, she would be viewed as a "terrorist" in today's language. You may be sure that the South considered her in that spirit.
