Civil rights movements
The fugitive slave act was part of the laws referred to as the Comprimise of 1850. It labeled that antislavery advocates got the addmission of California as a free state, as well as prohibition of slave-trade in the district of colombia. This law, as you may not believe, actually carried on the opperation ofg the fabeled underground railroad. The Missouri comprimise was when 1817 [|inhabitants] of Missouri petitionedcongress for admission to the union as a state. A bill was introduced to congressto prohibit any furtherslave-trade within in territories and giving freedom to the children who were already there. This bill was passed by congress on May 30, 1854. It allowed people in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to descide for themselves whether or not t allow slavery within their borders. The act served to [|repeal] the Missouri Comprimise. The North was highly unsupprting of this bill as the South was highly supportive. Scott had a slave owner which was his master, he was a soldier in the U.S army. He moved to a free state and took Scott with him, where Scott lived on free soil for a long time. The U.S army eventually made him go back to the South and when he did Scott went with him. Then Scott's master died. Scott was later on helped by abolitionists lawyers to sue for his freedom in cort,with the claim that he should be free since he had already lived on free soil, Scott had his trial.This case was carried all the way to supreme court, where the judge was a former slave owner. The Underground Railroad was a vast network of people who helped fugitive slave s escape to the North. The South lost over 100,000 slave between 1810 and 1850, who escaped to the free states. It all started witha society of quakers, when the syatem grew it was dubbed The Underground Railroad.
