Answer 2

Answer:

The label of "fugitive" would have been controversial in 1793 when  was establish The Fugitive Slave Acts as a pair of federal law that allowed for the capture and also return of runaway slaves living in the territory of the USA. This law were between the most controversial ones in the early 19th century.

Explanation:

The reason for this label (fugitive) to be controversial is that  by the time of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, there were many states that had abolished slavery, such as Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Concerned that, those free states would be safe places for runaway slaves, so they were free in a few States but fugitives on the rest of them. In order to solve this problem, it was included in the U.S Constitution a "Fugitive Slave Clause" which stated that "no person held to service or labor would be realesed from bondage in the event they scaped to a free state".
