What methods did abolitionists use to protest the Fugitive Slave Law?

Abolitionists were outraged by the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act. Their already well publicized stance on the abolishment of slavery now accelerated. New England was an abolitionist stronghold in the US. Speeches in town halls and in churches all sought to enlighten the public and the government on the evils of slavery. By 1852, the Underground Railroad, a "safe house" method to transport escaped slaves to Canada was in full swing. A novel called Uncle Tom's Cabin, was an anti-slavery publication that was well received by many people. Although it can be said that it was a best selling book, there was no evidence that southern based slavery was weakened.
