Question

how did the fugitive slave act contribute to security against events like nat turners rebellion? it stopped the south from joining with britain by securing its economic interests. it secured freedom for fugitives of slavery, making revolts unnecessary. it empowered the south to discourage fleeing from or rising against slavery.

Explanation:

The Fugitive Slave Act was about returning escaped slaves. The first option is incorrect as it relates to South - Britain relations, not slave revolts. The second option is wrong because the act did not secure freedom for fugitive slaves; it enforced their return. The third option is correct as the act gave the South means to prevent slaves from fleeing or revolting, which relates to security against events like Nat Turner's Rebellion (a slave revolt).

Answer:

C. It empowered the South to discourage fleeing from or rising against slavery. (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with A being the first, B the second, C the third. If original labels differ, adjust accordingly, but based on content, the third option is correct.)
