Sean Beck · Answer 1

It just made it to where any white guy could say any black person in any state was their slave and that he had ran away. So a white slave owner could leave Alabama and go to Indiana and say that the local black tailor was his slave and he'd legally be able to take him.

Carmen Haynes · Answer 2

The Fugitive Slave Act required Americans to capture any runaway slaves and return them to their owners.
