I get the most agreement when the other person is not clear as to what I said.

From what I know of the FSA most of the enforcement was through the feds. I know there were tremendous disturbances when slaves were held in local jails awaiting their transfer back South.

You are correct. The act required action by Federal Marshals.

Also correct. That was one of the issues of the case that I posted. Some citizens of Milwaukee & Racine broke the guy out of jail. One man (named Booth) who'd tried to call a town meeting about the use of Milwaukee's jail was charged for interfering in the case.
