Question

Imagine you are a writer for an Abolitionist newspaper.

Answer 1

As a writer for an abolitionist newspaper, you would write a heated opinion article to criticize the newly enacted Fugitive Slave law.

What did Abolitionists think of the Fugitive Slave Law?

I can't write the opinion article for you but I can give you pointers.

Abolitionists in the North were appalled and very angry when they heard that the Fugitive Slave Law had been passed because they believed that it would make it much harder to get people out of slavery.

They also believed that it infringed upon the rights of a State to be a free state that does not permit slavery and lastly, it meant that African Americans who were free in the North could now be targeted by slave hunters which was grossly unfair.

Write these reasons for being against the Fugitive Slave Law in the opinion article and then conclude by calling on the Northern states to resist this law.
