Slave catcher : ウィキペディア英語版 | Slave catcher
Fugitive slave catchers were people who returned escaped slaves to their owners in the United States in the mid 19th century. Slaves who managed to free themselves from their owners had yet another worry: fugitive slave catchers. The Compromise of 1850 and the ''Fugitive Slave Law,'' the latter enacted pursuant to a specific provision contained in Article IV of the United States Constitution, created the Fugitive Slave. ==Uneasy compromise and disagreement== At the time of Fugitive Slave catchers the North was moving more in the direction of abolition. The South wanted runaway slaves caught and brought back to their owners and they activated this by means of Fugitive Slave catchers. The Fugitive Slave Law stated that every citizen was responsible for helping to recover and return fugitive slaves; so any white person from the North or South could be, and was expected to be , a fugitive slave catcher. (See also Indiana in Slavery).〔John Hope Franklin, Loren Schweninger, Runaway slaves: rebels on the plantation (Oxford University Press US, 2001) http://books.google.com/books?id=3pZgiM6pXosC&source=gbs_navlinks_s〕 The Northern states, however began giving more freedom and rights to black people; as a result many slaves from the south fled north where they thought they could live with more opportunity for freedom. It was possible for them to be citizens in the North, and not live as slaves.
