Fugitive Slave Act of 1850: One of the Worst Ever
from Path to Liberty · host Michael Boldin
Sept 18, 1850 - Pres. Millard Fillmore signed the 2nd Federal Fugitive Slave Act into law. An attempt to implement the Fugitive Slave Clause of the Constitution, the act, at best, had serious constitutional issues. In response, as had been done under the previous act, states passed Personal Liberty Laws which nullified the federal act in practice and effect. The post Fugitive Slave Act of 1850: One of the Worst Ever appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center.
