<span>The Fugitive Slave Acts were a pair of federal laws that allowed for the capture and return of runaway slaves within the territory of the United States. Enacted by Congress in 1793, the first Fugitive Slave Act authorized local governments to seize and return escaped slaves to their owners and imposed penalties on anyone who aided in their flight. Widespread resistance to the 1793 law led to the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which added more provisions regarding runaways and levied even harsher punishments for interfering in their capture. The Fugitive Slave Acts were among the most controversial laws of the early 19th century.</span>

What were the most difficult challenges faced by the plymouth and Jamestown settlers?
Akimi4 [234]
<span>Lack of food and creating relations with the local Native American tribes.

Food supplies from the trip were low upon arrival and without established farming settlements, the English struggled to grow food and find food sources. The ground was difficult and different requiring new farming techniques.

To learn farming in the new world, settlers had to rely on relationships with Native Americans. This was difficult with language and cultural differences. Also the English had a long history of not wanting to work with other cultures and therefore would rather stay isolated from the tribes instead of integrate like the French and Spanish did. </span>
