Solution

The correct option is D Fugitive Slave
Abolitionists advocated to repeal the Fugitive Slave Act. According to this Act, if a slave managed to escape from their oppressive masters but the slaves were later caught, they had to be returned to their masters. And the fate that awaited them after this was worse than death.
