| | Whitman, Dickinson, and the Fugitive Slave Law |
 | | The first fugitive slave law was passed in 1793 and authorized slaveowners to cross state lines to retrieve their "property." Slaveowners could go before any local magistrate or federal court to prove ownership. | | | The Supreme Court also ruled, however, that the enforcement of the fugitive slave clause in the Constitution was a federal responsibility and that no state could be coerced into helping enforce it. | | | For Northern states, the Fugitive Slave Law was read as an attack on states' rights. |

| | As slavery was abolished in the Northern states, the 1793 law was loosely enforced, to the great irritation of the South, and as abolitionist sentiment developed, organized efforts to circumvent the law took form in the Underground Railroad. | | | When apprehended, an alleged fugitive was taken before a federal court or commissioner. | | | The law was so weighted against the fugitives that many Northerners, formerly unconcerned, were now aroused to opposition. |

| | Furthermore, the legislation, which was entitled The Fugitive Slave Act (1850) demanded that if an escaped slave was sighted, he or she should be apprehended and turned in to the authorities for deportation back to the "rightful" owner down south. | | | These laws stipulated that it was illegal for any citizen to assist an escaped slave. | | | In fact, the Fugitive Slave Act was so severe that at the behest of Senator Henry Clay, it was legislated that any United States Marshall who refused to return a runaway slave would pay a hefty penalty of $1,000. |

| | Now, however, the flight lasts two hours, and catching the criminals is all that's on anyone's mind. | | | Oddly, even though The Fugitive is an admitted chase movie, the scenes before the hunt begins are among the best of the movie. | | | There's an odd moment or two when an element of someone's behavior strikes a responsive chord, but basically the characters are developed only enough to keep us interested as the chase proceeds. |

| | The new series, which theoretically has a much longer time to spin its story, cuts straight to the chase, cutting out most of the emotional potential and suspense in the process. | | | But this version of The Fugitive is more interested in going through the motions of its premise than in exploring the depths of its characters or any possible meanings of their experiences. | | | The archetypal "fugitive" story hinges on an exploration of duality — the struggle between the real and unreal, honesty and deception, isolation and community, law and criminality. |
