Nicknamed 'Bloodhound Law', which US Act of Congress was passed as part of a compromise of 1850'?

LazyLabradoodle29407, we all, no matter our color would have done the same.

Historians don't talk much about the revolts other than Nat Turner's. Many were not accepting of their fate. Others still would take their chances because they'd rather be dead than enslaved.

horrible law.

People forget that slavery is still legal in some countries.

"The Lost Cause of the Confederacy (or simply Lost Cause) is an American pseudohistorical negationist mythology that claims the cause of the Confederate States during the American Civil War was just, heroic, and not centered on slavery...Lost Cause proponents typically praise the traditional culture of honor and chivalry of the antebellum South. They argue that enslaved people were treated well and deny that their condition was the central cause of the war, contrary to statements made by Confederate leaders...Instead, they frame the war as A DEFENSE OF STATES' RIGHTS (emphasis mine), and as necessary to protect their agrarian economy against supposed Northern aggression. The Union victory is thus explained as the result of its greater size and industrial wealth, while the Confederate side is portrayed as having greater morality and military skill. Modern historians overwhelmingly disagree with these characterizations, noting that the central cause of the war was slavery..." (Source: Wikipedia) 'A defense of states' rights' which seemingly went in one direction alone. The Fugitive Slave Act forced free states' law enforcement officials and the common citizenry to stand by and indeed cooperate in allowing human beings who had made it onto free soil be dragged back over state lines, back into slavery. What a monstrous institution supported by intellectually and morally bankrupt delusional people.

DawgLover, that's not true. While indentured servants were supposedly set free after 7 years, this rarely happened. Irish and Negroes where both considered sub-human.

Ruby, Irish were never slaves they were indentured servant’s. That has been debunked

And thus the underground railroad to move escaped slaves through Northern states

interesting, the law was still in force after the emancipation proclamation of 1863.

DawgLover, You're wrong and probably not Irish.

R+T#1/2 o+b#45/46, No one talks about the Irish slaves. Sad.

We are still in a slave country. Racist...bigotry...sexiest. We (America) live in the Trifecta of nonsense.

Player #92723922, yes you're right about that and it's sorta funny how parents didn't interfere with the schools teachers during the 60s and 70s when they were going to school and learning about how they stole land from the native Americans and enslaved African Americans but unfortunately now they don't want little Timmy to learn all the bad things that his forefathers had done to the black man and native Americans

The fugitive Slave Law was a deep, deep, dark stain on our national history. Disgusting! BTW - history is not ours to approve or rewrite. It is there to learn from.

Bulldogsmomma, Word,,Bloodhound, gave it away,,yes we all were slaves at one time,,sadly,,half Cherokee blood here,,Escape German relatives other side of the family, etc

Ruby, that's an interesting point

thebigtabu, I just saw a preview of it. Looks great! Coming in November IIRC.
