While the national government weakly enforced the laws ending the slave trade, they still sternly enforced the laws providing for the return of fugitives to slavery. The national government collaborated with the South to keep abolitionist literature out of mails in the southern states. It was the American Justice System that declared in 1857 that the slave Dred Scott could not sue for his freedom because he was not a person, but property. All of these actions were taken by the U.S. government to support slavery.
