Answer:

Then most slaves would have gotten away because people weren't allowed to bring them back.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fugitive Slave Acts, in U.S. history, statutes passed by Congress in 1793 and 1850 that provided for the seizure and return of runaway slaves who escaped from one state into another or into a federal territory.
