In 1860, New York passed the "New York State Personal Liberty Law," which was designed to counter the federal Fugitive Slave Act. This law aimed to protect the rights of escaped slaves by preventing state officials from aiding in their capture and ensuring that individuals accused of being runaway slaves could have a fair trial. It reflected the growing tensions over slavery in the United States and illustrated New York's stance against the enforcement of federal slave laws.
