The correct answer is: fiction work and poetry about being African American

The Harlem Renaissance was an intellectual, social and artistic movement in the 1920s, expanding until 1940s. It was named after Harlem, New York, because it was the place were this movement initially exploded. It was about the racial pride of the African American people, a way to claim their identities in a context of discrimination. With the success of the movement with works such as The Book of American Negro Poetry in 1922, which was an anthology that featured the work of talented poets, the art of Black people were assimilated by others.

Explain how the fugitive slave act violated the core principles of american democracy

larisa [96]

The origins of these acts go back to the constitution where the article 4 has a clause called the fugitive slave clause which orders states to deliver up fugitives from labor (euphemism for runaway slaves) when they are requested by slaveholders.

This clause was translated into the first 1793 statute which was basically a civil statute that was not well enforced according to the southern states, thus leading to the creation of the 1850 fugitive slave act.

The 1850 act was tougher than the previous one, punishing not only runaway slaves, but also people who harbored or aided slaves in any way, with civil and criminal penalties including up to 6 months imprisonment if caught and prosecuted successfully.

There were many documented cases of people being tortured and imprisoned in south because of helping fugitives.

These acts directly violated the democracy in several ways for example:

Slavery had been abolished in many states of the US by the time these acts were created
They were considered by many as some species of legalized kidnapping
They encouraged illegal abduction or arrest and sale into slavery of free black men and women denying them the fair right to trial

One clear example would be the movie "Twelve years a slave" which depicts the documented case of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was sold as a slave without proof of him being one.
