2. Slave Power Conspiracy
Add anything you have missed with a green pen
Slave Power (also called the Slave Power conspiracy and Slaveocracy), was a term first coined by abolitionists in 1839 and was in common use by the 1850s. 
It referred to the perceived economic, social and political influence held by slaveholders in the South. It was suggested that Southern slaveholders had a great deal power in Congress and many other federal offices up to and including the presidency. This is in spite of the fact they made up only a small minority of the population of the nation. These few very powerful men used their influence to maintain the institution of slavery.
The fear in the North was that the slave power conspiracy intended to not only to spread slavery to the Western territories but to all the states in the North.

6. Source B
From the author’s introduction to her novel, ‘The Planter’s Northern Bride’ by Caroline Lee Hentz (1854), in which the author explains her views. This book was a Southern response to ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’.
It is our honest belief that the negroes of the South are the happiest labouring class on the face of the globe; despite all that can truly be said of their trials and sufferings. The fugitives who flee to the Northern States are no proof against the truth of this statement. They have, most of them, been affected by the influence of others — tempted by promises which are seldom fulfilled. The seeds of discontent and rebellion have taken root in the beautiful groves of the South.
With reference to this source and your understanding of the historical context, how valuable is this source to an historian studying the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850?
