    Main points of the speech:
    - Keep the union
    - Slavery won't go away in places where it already exists
    - Lands of the SW aren't sufficient for cultivation: slavery won't extend that far
    -Slave holders have a right to their property: need to obey the fugitive slave act

While admitting Missouri as a slave state, it also banned slavery north of Missouri's southern border, the 36°30' latitude line. This geographically divided the country into a slave-holding South and a free North.

The new act stated that runaway slaves must be returned to their owner in the South by law. People who disobeyed this law would suffer consequences. It was controversial since many northern states decided not to enforce it. This is one example of a flyer made about the amended Fugitive Slave Law. This amended law was supposed to balance out the endx of the slave trade in Washington D.C.
