    Fugitive Slave Acts

    By the middle of the nineteenth century, the issue of slavery had caused a deep division between North and South. Slavery was an important part of the Southern way of life, and slave labor was a major aspect of the Southern states' economy. Northerners opposed slavery yet were concerned that the political, economic, and conflict with the South over slavery could threaten a civil war between the two sides. The conflict intensified over the issue of fugitive, or escaped, slaves. Because slaves were treated as property in the South, slave owners felt it was their right to seek out and recapture slaves who had escaped to free Northern states. Northerners tended to view this practice as kidnapping. Many wondered if officials in the free states had a right not to interfere with the slave owner or in fact had the power to declare the slave a free person. Article 4, section 2 of the Constitution stated that slaves who escaped to free states had to be surrendered to their owners upon demand. Although the Constitution recognized the institution of slavery and the rights of slave owners, it was still unclear just what the law required of the people and officials in free states in regard to the matter of fugitive slaves. In other words, enforcement of the Constitution on this matter was a gray area decades before the Civil War.…

    I am beyond outraged! Congress had no right to add the Fugitive Slave Act to the Compromise of 1850 back in September 18, 1850. The act is requiring that everyone -- no matter where you reside in the U.S.-- is to apprehend any runaway slaves including those who are free. I still do not understand why it is that people think slavery is right when in fact it is WRONG!…

    To say that I find a great interest in American history would be greatly falsified. However, when it comes to slavery it keeps me much more interested than anything else, at the edge of my seat almost. To know what our ancestors may have went through and sacrificed for us to have better lives today even if it wasn’t by choice. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 is an epitome source of one of the obstacles that African-American slaves had to face.…

    The world is filled with extraordinarily beautiful places, but very rarely are such locations found by those who reject their artistic side. Amongst a society filled with mundane and gray individuals, the world of music is frequently overlooked and underappreciated. Many claim that a career in music leads nowhere, and that nobody has ever been truly moved by working with music. Well, I for one reject this overgeneralization and choose to pursue my passion; becoming a middle or high school band director. My goal in this paper is to illustrate the educational requirements, financial earnings, potential job advancements, travel opportunities, and ability to compromise that define many exceptional band directors.…

    My second concert I attended was located at the Fowler Center Thursday, November 4, 2010. The Arkansas State University Wind Ensemble played several works, which gave to the title “Folksongs and War Songs”. Timothy Oliver was the main conductor and there was a guest conductor also, Dan Patterson. A classmate and I arrived to the Fowler Center on time and got settled, but neither one of knew what to expect really since we didn’t have a very sturdy musical background. Everyone on stage were playing their instruments all the same time and didn’t sound very graceful, but we came to the conclusion all the performers were practicing before show time. The lights began to dim and show began.…

He managed to re-create an image of each student through regenerating his or her image from a photograph. The canvas is divided into eighteen individual and distinct sections. Each section is devoted to one student picture or figure, and their mood or feelings in which they wanted to portray.…
