The Fugitive Slave Law (C) required that all states help slave owners catch their runaway slaves. This law required that if a slave were to escape to a northern state where there was no slavery that the person must be returned to their "owner" in the South.

Answer:

The correct answer is C. The Fugitive Slave Law required people in all states to help slave owners to catch their runaway slaves.

Explanation:

The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, part of the Compromise of 1850, was a law passed by Congress declaring that all runaway slaves should be returned to their owners. The law was passed on September 18, 1850, and was repealed on June 28, 1864. It reinforced the Federal government authority in capturing runaway slaves. The Law authorized federal agents to require passers-by citizens from the north to help capture the alleged fugitives. Many northerners perceived the law as a way in which the federal government exceeded its limits of authority, due to the fact that the law could be used to force the northerners to act against their anti-slavery beliefs.
