The Chicago Common Council and the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 is a historical address delivered by Charles W. Mann before the Chicago Historical Society in 1903. The book explores the role of the Chicago Common Council in enforcing the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, which allowed slave owners to recapture runaway slaves in free states. Mann delves into the political and social climate of Chicago during this time, highlighting the tensions between abolitionists and pro-slavery advocates. He also examines the actions of the Chicago Common Council in relation to the Fugitive Slave Law, including their efforts to enforce the law and their resistance to it. This book provides a detailed look at an important moment in American history and sheds light on the complex issues of slavery and freedom in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
