One of the great ironies of the Enlightenment was that various societies produced the notion of the inalienable rights of man, bequeathed by God, alongside the long-established and deeply entrenched institution of slavery.

In that regard, the Fugitive Slave Act ended up being one of the main tipping points that finally split the nation in two.
