The Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 was part of the Compromise of 1850. This law required the United States government to actively assist slave owners in recapturing their fugitive slaves.They wanted the Fugitive Slave Law to guarantee African Americans the right to testify and also the right to a trial by jury.

Help return runaway slaves.

Hope this helps.
