The document discusses the Compromise of 1850 and the Fugitive Slave Act, arguing that Northerners will not comply with returning runaway slaves. It claims slavery provides slaves with food, shelter and family, so it is not cruel. It also suggests Henry Clay would change his view on ending slavery if he visited plantations, and that the Underground Railroad is causing an uproar in the South by helping slaves escape.

1. Page 5C Way of Life. Alabama Tribute Compromise of 1850 includes the Fugitive Slave Act, which makes Northern citizens arrest runaway slaves. Now realistically speaking telling a Northern citizen to do that is like telling a turtle to run faster.It simply won't happen. All congress is doing is trying to take away cruelty from the states. But slavery is not cruel.Without it slaves would not know what to do. Slavery gives them a roof,food, and family. Henry Clay is fighting in court to end slavery, but I'm sure one visit to my plantation and close-by ones his opinion would be changed. My slaves know that they work for a way of life. The Underground Railroad and whites helping slaves escape plantations is really starting a uproar in the South. The Northeners are basically trying to get rid of slavery, because of cruelty. Well why don't we argue that the North's industry factories are unfair. If the North gets what they want by taking our way of life, then I'm afraid I smell something else coming.
