A.K.A. the Fugitive-Slave Law of 1850. It said that fleeing slaves could not testify on their own behalf and they were denied a jury trial. Northerners who aided slaves trying to escape were subject to fines and jail time. This was the one Southern gain from the Compromise of 1850

enslaved africans were denied legal testimony. Even afriacan who had been living free for many years could be arrested at will and re-enslaved. Every afrian free or unfree was vulnerable because of this law.
