What is the Fugitive slave act of 1850 and what was the significance of the act?
Under the Fugitive Slave Law, any person arrested as a runaway slave had almost no legal rights. Many runaways fled to Canada rather than risk being caught and sent back to their master. The Fugitive Slave Law also said that any person who helped a slave escape, or even refused to aid slave catchers, could be jailed. Both sides were unhappy with the Fugitive Slave Law, though for for different reasons. Northerners did not want to enforce the law. Southerners felt the law did not do enough to ensure the return of their escaped property (slaves; slaves were considered property). Hope this helps! Source: History Alive!
