Explanation:

The Fugitive Slave Act was a series of laws passed by the US Congress that provided for the seizure and return of runaway slaves that went to another state. In the African American Communities, the Acts were received with terror because it allowed any judge to decide finally and without a trial that someone was a fugitive slave. This was a problem because many African Americans were born free in the North and could be wrongfully considered fugitive slaves and sent to the Southern States without any way of defending themselves.
