1 answer:

7 0

Slaveholders could seize an alleged runaway in free territory and bring the accused before a federal judge or local magistrate to prove title to the slave and obtain a certificate of rendition entitling the master to remove the slave from the free jurisdiction. The law placed most of the burden of slave catching on masters, including the burden of dealing with uncooperative Northerners, and it made rendition hearings inconvenient to arrange because few federal judges were available to participate. The 1850 Fugitive Slave Act provided for federal circuit courts to designate commissioners specifically to hear rendition proceedings, and it authorized commissioners and federal marshals to form a posse of bystanders to capture runaways.

How did Vietnamization' allow the US to cut the number of US troops<br> fighting in the war?

Virty [35]

Answer:

Explanation: Vietnamization was a strategy that aimed to reduce American involvement in the Vietnam War by transferring all military responsibilities to South Vietnam. The increasingly unpopular war had created deep rifts in American society. President Nixon believed his Vietnamization strategy, which involved building up South Vietnam’s armed forces and withdrawing U.S. troops, would prepare the South Vietnamese to act in their own defense against a North Vietnamese takeover and allow the United States to leave Vietnam with its honor intact. But the Vietnamization process was deeply flawed from the beginning.
