Some benefits to the compromise of 1850 (May 13th 1851)

So today I found out the reason that this compromise is really kinda ok, a bucnh of slaves were returned to me today, at least I'm pretty sure they are mine, they look like it anyway, I mean they are African-American, so they must be mine right? Irregardless they were caught by my third uncle living up in New York, good feller that man, obeying the law and whatnot. He was saying that a few of his neighbors were giving him dirty looks when he was getting the police on the scene, but I don't get why, good man was just obeying the law like I said earlier. Put em' right back to work in the fields.

Here they are, oh they be gettin' the whip later.
