OTD in 1850, Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act. It required that all escaped slaves, upon capture, be returned to the slave-owner and that officials and citizens of free states had to cooperate. It was broadly defied in northern states and was one of the precipitating causes of the Civil War. 🧵
