Here are some facts about the fugitive slave act:

  • Members of the public could be arrested for failing to report someone they suspected of being a fugitive slave.
  • It turned members of the public into unpaid slave-catchers, causing much resentment, and arousing anti-slavery sentiment among many who had never shown much interest in the issue until then.
