The Fugitive Slave Act Part of the Compromise of 1850 was the Fugitive Slave Act. Anyone who helped a fugitive could be fined or

imprisoned. Some Northerners refused to obey the new law. In his 1849 essay "Civil Disobedience," Henry David Thoreau wrote that if the law "requires you to be the agent [cause] of injustice to another, then I say, break the law." Northern juries refused to convict people accused of breaking the new law. People gave money to buy freedom for enslaved people. Free African Americans and whites formed a network, or interconnected system, called the Underground Railroad to help runaways find their way to freedom. Democrat Franklin Pierce became president in 1853. He intended to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act.

Answer:

This question is incorrect, the correct question should be

What were some ways that Northerners defied the Fugitive Slave Act?

Explanation:

The Fugitive Slave act was Part of the Compromise of 1850 . That anyone that helped a fugitive could either be fined or imprisoned. Though Some Northerners resisted, declined and refused to obey the new law.

Henry David Thoreau in his essay of 1849 titled "Civil Disobedience," wrote that if the law "requires you to be the agent and cause of injustice to another, then I say, break the law."

The Northerner juries declined to convict people who were accused of breaking this new law.

People gave out money to buy freedom for the enslaved people, and the Freed African Americans and whites formed a network, or an interconnected system, called the "Underground Railroad" which is intended to help runaways to find their way to freedom.

Later in 1953, Democrat Franklin Pierce became the president and he intended to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act upon assuming office

What are 5 causes of the great migration and 5 effects
madreJ [45]

Answer:cause:After the Civil War and the Reconstruction era, racial inequality persisted across the South during the 1870s, and the segregationist policies known as “Jim Crow” soon became the law of the land.Southern Black people were forced to make their living working the land due to Black codes and the sharecropping system, which offered little in the way of economic opportunity, especially after crop damage resulting from a regional boll weevil infestation in the 1890s and early 1900s.After the Civil War and the Reconstruction era, racial inequality persisted across the South during the 1870s, and the segregationist policies known as “Jim Crow” soon became the law of the land.Southern Black people were forced to make their living working the land due to Black codes and the sharecropping system, which offered little in the way of economic opportunity, especially after crop damage resulting from a regional boll weevil infestation in the 1890s and early 1900s.

effect:As a result of housing tensions, many Black residents ended up creating their own cities within big cities, fostering the growth of a new urban, African American culture. The most prominent example was Harlem in New York City, a formerly all-white neighborhood that by the 1920s housed some 200,000 African Americans.The Black experience during the Great Migration became an important theme in the artistic movement known first as the New Negro Movement and later as the Harlem Renaissance, which would have an enormous impact on the culture of the era.The Great Migration also began a new era of increasing political activism among African Americans, who after being disenfranchised in the South found a new place for themselves in public life in the cities of the North and West. The civil rights movement directly benefited from this activism.Black migration slowed considerably in the 1930s, when the country sank into the Great Depression, but picked up again with the coming of World War II and the need for wartime production. But returning Black soldiers found that the GI Bill didn’t always promise the same postwar benefits for all.By 1970, when the Great Migration ended, its demographic impact was unmistakable: Whereas in 1900, nine out of every 10 Black Americans lived in the South, and three out of every four lived on farms, by 1970 the South was home to only half of the country’s African Americans, with only 20 percent living in the region’s rural areas. The Great Migration was famously captured in Isabel Wilkerson’s The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration.

Write an essay about having a dog
tiny-mole [99]

To begin with, having a dog can vary based on what type it is. If it's a smaller dog, they tend to be more submissive to make up for what they lack in size. A bigger dog would probably be a little more self confident in that they could play around a little with you. It truly depends on the dogs personality.

Starting off, dogs are an enormous responsibility. Even when people claim they'll take care of their dogs, it's hard to remember the little things. For instance, how much food they need a day, how many walks they need in a week, when they last went to the bathroom, and a bunch of other questions come to mind when dog owners are questioned about the brutality of owning a dog. It takes a lot more effort than often given credit for.

However, once you've established a healthy relationship, pattern, and schedule with a dog, life becomes a lot easier. You're able to better understand the dog's likes and dislikes, favorite people, least favorite sounds, etc. You can begin teaching your dog new tricks by using treats, tones of gratitude, and repetition to teach how you want your dog acting. It's hard to train a dog the older they get, so it's best to teach it as soon as it's physically ready.

Owning a dog is truly a fantastic experience. They honestly become an argument-free and non opinionated family member. They can give you the energy and motivation you need to go on a run in the mornings, if needed.
