Concerning Emancipation
http://www.learner.org/channel/workshops/primarysources/emancipation/before.html
Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 
Originally enacted by Congress to ensure the right of slave owners to re-claim lost "property", the Fugitive Slave Acts of 1793 were antithetical to almost every idea set forth by the Constitution: free will, the right to happiness, and most importantly, the right to due process. The Congress of 1793 set a precedent which would only be overturned a century (and many lives) later, by the Civil War.
