    The first Fugitive Slave Act was passed in 1793. It stated that any slave owner could turn in any fugitive slave with proof of course. Additionally, those who provided shelter for the fugitives were also liable to arrest. However, this act began to lose its touch. Abolitionists began ignoring it and created The Underground Railroad.

    The newly passed Fugitive Slave Act made it a crime to help runaway slaves and allowed offi cials to arrest those slaves in free areas. Slaveholders were permitted to take suspected fugitives to U.S. commissioners, who decided their fate. The Fugitive Slave Act upset northerners, who were uncomfortable with the commissioners’ power. Northerners disliked the idea of a trial without a jury. They also disapproved of commissioners’ higher fees for returning slaves. Most were horrifi ed that some free African Americans had been captured and sent to the South. Most northerners opposed to the Act peacefully resisted, but violence did erupt. In 1854 Anthony Burns, a fugitive slave from Virginia, was arrested in Boston. Abolitionists used force while…

The article describes the effects of the fugitive act from the opposing point of view. This provides an increased understanding of the impact it had on free slaves. It also illustrates the attempts by white abolitionists to oppose the new act such as the formation of vigilance committees.…

    On September 8th, 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act was created as a compromise. It stated to capture any fugitive/ runaway slave and to be returned to their owner because they considered slaves as their property. If anyone in the North were to be aiding a fugitive, they would be fined and imprisoned for about six months. Sometimes, slaves would escape by a secret system called the Underground Railroad. Later, the North passed a law saying that any escaped slave who came to the North should at least have a trial to be free. The Fugitive Slave Act angered the North greatly because they were responsible, which made them more determined to end slavery. During…

    I am beyond outraged! Congress had no right to add the Fugitive Slave Act to the Compromise of 1850 back in September 18, 1850. The act is requiring that everyone -- no matter where you reside in the U.S.-- is to apprehend any runaway slaves including those who are free. I still do not understand why it is that people think slavery is right when in fact it is WRONG!…

    My second concert I attended was located at the Fowler Center Thursday, November 4, 2010. The Arkansas State University Wind Ensemble played several works, which gave to the title “Folksongs and War Songs”. Timothy Oliver was the main conductor and there was a guest conductor also, Dan Patterson. A classmate and I arrived to the Fowler Center on time and got settled, but neither one of knew what to expect really since we didn’t have a very sturdy musical background. Everyone on stage were playing their instruments all the same time and didn’t sound very graceful, but we came to the conclusion all the performers were practicing before show time. The lights began to dim and show began.…
