STATEMENT: In 1850 the Fugitive Slave Act was passed by the United States Congress. This law made it possible for the government to use violence to solve the non-violent “problem” of having cheap/free labor for a particular industry.  Like all laws, this one was enacted after lobbying from players in the industries that used slavery.
It is my opinion that the United States Marshal and various other law enforcement organizations should have completely ignored this law.
QUESTION:Â Do you agree with me or do you think that the government agents “just doing their jobs” should have continued to do what the law stated.Â
I am particularly curious about the opinions of anti-FreeKeene.com’s readers.
