History

Read the partial summary of the article below. Local communities are acting as
sanctuaries to protect some
immigrants, and they may face
punishment from the government. The
author believes that there is a
connection between this situation and
the way individuals and communities
resisted the government's Fugitive
Slave Law by helping runaway slaves.
The law allowed slave owners to
capture runaway slaves in free states
without allowing the people captured to
defend themselves in court, and it
punished anyone who helped slaves.

passed, many important black
activists, including several who had run
away from slavery, protested the law
and encouraged others, black and
white, to resist slavery and the laws,
like the Fugitive Slave Law, that
protected it
