Description
This historic legal work compiles a group of the most common laws adopted by many Northern states in the early 1800s regarding the punishments aligned with the kidnapping of slaves. It was common in the early 1800s, especially with the introduction of the Fugitive Slave Acts in the 1850s, for kidnappers to abduct black men and women—regardless of their status as freedmen or otherwise—to be sold back into slavery for a high price.
