The Fugitive Slave Law and Its Victims, published in 1856 by Samuel May, provides a critical examination of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law in the United States. This historical account details the law's provisions, which mandated the capture and return of escaped slaves with minimal due process, and outlines the responsibilities of U.S. officials in enforcing it. May highlights the personal stories of victims affected by this legislation, illustrating the violence and legal struggles they faced amid the national conflict over slavery.
