Question

Is this statement true or false?

Congress passed the Slavery Act, which allowed blacks to own slaves in an attempt to give blacks the rights of full citizenship.

Answer 1

Do you mean the fugitive slave act? If so then it is false. The fugitive slave act states that a slave is required to be returned to their owner even if they live in a free state.

Answer 2

Answer: false

Explanation:

No, it is false that Congress passed the Slavery Act, which allowed blacks to own slaves in an attempt to give blacks the rights of full citizenship, since all acts passed having to do with slavery up until the 13th Amendment put slaves and blacks at a disadvantage.
