Anthony Burns and the Personal Liberty Laws
• Anthony Burns - Escaped Virginia slave living in Boston– Captured and returned to his owner in Virginia
• All that was needed was a statement by a slave owner b/c of the Fugitive Slave Act:– Alleged fugitives were not allowed a trial by jury – Could not testify on your own behalf– Also paid $10 for returned slave. $5 if freed– Anyone convicted of helping a fugitive slave was charged $1,000 or
imprisoned for 6 months
• 9 Northern states had Personal Liberty Laws – No imprisonment of fugitives– Jury Trials that lasted years and cost slave owners $$$$$$$$
