In one to two paragraphs, explain this passage and give your opinion. Why was such a law accepted at the time?

laws like these weren't really implemented in the north but were popular in the south because the south still had slavery until 1863, and because they wanted to deter slaves from running aware and also they wanted to keep control of what they had and of their property/slaves.

racism was rampant during the time against blacks because african americans didn't have rights at the time so they couldn't stand up for themselves or anything like that.
