3 Guess Who’s Still Not Happy

4 The Georgia Platform Georgia decides to stand with the Union (for now) BUT – secession does stay in the back of their minds Georgia delegates wanted to “preserve that Union which has extended … over a vast wilderness to another ocean…”

5 Fugitive Slave Act Escaped “fugitives” must be returned Anyone who helped, hid, or harbored them could face: $1000 fine OR 6 months in prison

6 Excerpt from Fugitive Slave Act Section 7 “ And be it further enacted, That any person who shall knowingly and willingly obstruct, hinder, or prevent such claimant, his agent or attorney, or any person or persons lawfully assisting him, her, or them, from arresting such a fugitive from service or labor,…or shall harbor or conceal such fugitive, so as to prevent the discovery and arrest of such person, after notice or knowledge of the fact that such person was a fugitive from service or labor as aforesaid, shall, for either of said offences, be subject to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, and imprisonment not exceeding six months…”
