People resisted the Fugitive Slave Act by aiding escaped slaves through the Underground Railroad, participating in legal challenges and protests, and establishing communities that provided sanctuary and support for fugitive slaves. Some individuals also actively engaged in civil disobedience by refusing to comply with the law and risking arrest to protect escaped slaves.
