18 sept. 1850 - Fugitive Slave Act
Description:
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was part of the compromise of 1850, which was an attempt to appease both the anti-slavery people and the pro-slavery people. The act required that slaves be returned to their owners, even if they were in a free state. This act infuriated many northerners who were anti-slavery, and they worked even harder to fight slavery.Ajouté au bande de temps:
