This is a representation of the Compromise of 1850. The man in gray with a dog is a southern slave catcher going into northern territory. The person in blue is a is an abolitionist that is protecting the runaway slave. This is a representation of the Fugitive Slave Act. The highlighted border line on Texas displays the border that the Compromise made them have. This is important to day because now there is a Mexican immigration issue. The Fugitive Slave Act really upset some people in the north because they were against slavery. California is colored blue because they entered as a free state. The people have guns to show the conflict over the Fugitive Slave Act.
