Which statement summarizes the Enslaved Persons Clause?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is c) Enslaved persons who escape must be returned to their home states.  

Explanation:

Slavery in the USA began in 1441, initially the slaves were Native Americans, but were later replaced by Africans.

People proclaimed slaves by their masters, should obey every order he/she gave them, many people tried to escape their slavery, but this was an unsuccessful action since there was a stipulation in the United States by the constitution called " the runaway slave clause. "

In the runaway slave clause, it demanded that all those slaves who escape to another state should be returned to their master, in the same situation that was found, which resulted in enslaved people never being free. This clause was in effect until the abolition of slavery.
