Abolitionists in the South were pleased with the Fugitive Slave Act because it strengthened the legal protections for slave owners trying to reclaim escaped slaves. This act required citizens to assist in the capture and return of fugitive slaves, making it easier for slave owners to maintain their property. It was perceived as a way to uphold the institution of slavery and preserve the Southern way of life.
Abolitionists and African-Americans resisted the Fugitive Slave Act by not adhering to the rules set forth by the act. When a runaway slave was discovered, instead of turning them in to the proper authorities, abolitionists and the slaves themselves would instead hide the slaves and help them make their way to safety.
Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade was created in 1787.
Abolitionists objected to the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 because it required citizens in free states to assist in capturing and returning escaped slaves, denying them a chance at freedom. They believed it strengthened the institution of slavery and violated their principles of human rights and justice.
Abolitionists were upset about the Fugitive Slave Act because it required citizens to assist in capturing and returning escaped slaves, denying them the right to a fair trial. This further entrenched the institution of slavery and undermined the efforts of abolitionists to help enslaved individuals escape to freedom.

I believe they were called 'Abolitionists'.
Angelina Grimké and Sarah Grimké were abolitionists who grew up in a slave-owning family in South Carolina. They witnessed the horrors of slavery firsthand, which motivated them to become outspoken advocates for abolition. Despite facing backlash from their family and society, the Grimké sisters played a significant role in the abolitionist movement in the United States.

The Grimke sisters, Angelina and Sarah Grimke, were raised in a slave-owning family in South Carolina but later became abolitionists. They gave their inherited slaves freedom and left the South to join the abolitionist movement in the North. They actively worked to end slavery and fought for women's rights.
Slave trade and slaves in general.
