Causes of the Civil War

Fugitive Slave Act 1850 Strengthened Act of 1793 Can’t testify Penalties were increased for helping fugitives, including imprisonment. Allowed slave-hunters to seize alleged fugitive slaves without due process of law (following established procedures of law) Can’t aid escaping fugitives or obstructing their recovery. Section 6: “In no trial or hearing under this act shall the testimony of such alleged fugitive be admitted in evidence”

Fugitive Slave Law 1793 denied constitutional rights to slaves, as well as freedmen. Not allowed jury trials refused permission to present proof of their freedom Constitutional protection of slavery Federal crime to assist an escaping slave Fugitive-for-life Slave-catching Free blacks were sometimes unlawfully seized by slave- catchers and sold into slavery. The Underground Railroad developed in response to it.

Fugitive Slave Act 1793 Section 5 “…should any marshal or deputy marshal refuse to receive such warrant, or other process, when tendered, or to use all proper means diligently to execute the same, he shall, on conviction thereof, be fined in the sum of one thousand dollars…”

Uncle Tom’s Cabin Excerpt “On the lower part of a small, mean boat, on the Red River, Tom sat chains on his wrists, chains on his feet, and a weight heavier than chains lay on his heart. All had faded from his sky... all had passed by him, as the trees and banks were now passing, to return no more. Kentucky home, with wife and children, indulgent owners…”
