Question

With the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, runaway slaves could not find true freedom in the northern states. Where did they now have to go for their freedom?


Canada


California


Kansas


Mexico

Answer 1

Runaway slaves had to go to **Canada** for their freedom after the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. This law made it more difficult for escaped slaves to find refuge in the northern states, as it required that escaped slaves be returned to their owners, even if they were found in free states. Canada, being a free country, became a popular destination for those seeking true freedom.
