Explanation:

Question 74

The Fugitive Slave Act was about returning enslaved people who escaped to free states (or territories) back to their owners. Free blacks weren't slaves, and Canada/Mexico were outside US free states' context for this Act. So the correct option is about slaves who ran to free states.

First American settlers in Texas: They often came in larger numbers than Mexico (which controlled Texas then) expected. They brought slaves (contradicts "did not bring slaves"), many didn't seek Mexican citizenship or fully accept Mexican laws (like anti - slavery laws). So the correct option is about coming in greater than anticipated numbers.

Answer:

A. slaves who had run away to free states
