Final answer:

'The Fugitive Slave' was not originally published in an abolitionist pamphlet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that 'The Fugitive Slave' was originally published in an abolitionist pamphlet is False.

The Fugitive Slave Act was a law passed in the United States in 1850 as part of the Compromise of 1850. It was enforced to ensure the capture and return of escaped slaves to their owners in the South. It was highly controversial and received widespread backlash from abolitionists and opponents of slavery.

The abolitionists, who were against slavery, published various writings and pamphlets to raise awareness and advocate for the abolition of slavery. However, 'The Fugitive Slave' was not originally published in an abolitionist pamphlet. It was a law that sparked a significant reaction from abolitionists but was not written or published by them.
