The fugitive slave act was written into law to round up runaway slaves that went up north where slavery was illegal. This act gave southerns the ability to demand their slaves back with help from the Federal government. it also made it illegal for "free people" to aide in the escape and quartering of runaway slaves.(I say free, not white because there were many free African Americans that helped runaway slaves, most notable Harriet Tubman and Fredrick Douglass) The fugitive slave act was actually quite popular in the south, especially with the plantation owners.
