Fugitive Slave Law passed? @north4Life

A new fugitive slave law has been passed! Now, slaves must be returned to their owners if they escape. Now, if they get caught, they have no legal rights. I just don't understand why, if we refuse to help find escaped slaves, we will get arrested!This is very unconstitutional. #unfair #slavesrights

Wilmot Proviso @north4Life

The Wilmot Proviso could stop slavery in territories claimed by Mexico in the Mexican-American War! #lessslavery

California applies for statehood @north4Life

Yes! One less slave state! #spreadthefree

Compromise of 1850 @north4Life

This is so unfair! Why is there a stricter fugitive slave law! At least the slave trade was outlawed in Washington D.C. #BadCompromise

The Fugitive Slave Problem @north4Life

I will never understand why the South is getting upset with us because their slaves are escaping. They escape and get to FREE land, we should be allowed to help them.

I LOVED this novel! It was very sad and showed me just how terrible and cruel slaveowners in the South could be. This author should not be getting hate from the South for writing such a powerful story. #greatbook #nohate

Kansas-Nebraska Act @north4Life

Lately, I have been very worried. What if Kansas and Nebraska vote to become slave states? #scared #weRworried

Ostend Manifesto @north4Life

We Northerners are livid! Pierce's administration just wants to buy Cuba so they could add another slave state to the Union! #ImShocked #freeStatesOnly

Raid on Lawrence @north4Life

How DARE they invade Lawrence with such violence! Everyone must join and save money for the printing presses. #unbelievable #save4printingpress

Attack on Senator Sumner @north4Life

The South is becoming more and more violent. Charles Sumner wrote an amazing speech about the cruelty of slavery, and Preston Brooks brutally beat him in the Senate! Southerners need to be stopped. #mercyForSumner #anti-slaverySpeech
