Slave holders were in favor of the Fugitive Slave Law as it required that slaves that escaped to the North would have to be returned to their owners. In the North the anti slavery abolitionists were against the law. They were anti slavery to begin with and wanted slaves who escaped to the North to be considered freed slaves.

The Dred Scott decision ruled that African Americans, whether free or enslaved, were not U.S. citizens, which undermined their legal rights and protections. These laws increased fear and discrimination among the African American community in the north and pushed them to fight for abolition and equality.

Usually they must find a way into the South Korean or U.S. embassy in China in order to finally be free however because China has a strict anti-North Korean immigrant policy and will deport the individual back to North Korea. If the person is sent back to North Korea they will be sent into one of the many North Korean labor camps. Very few North Korean's have escaped to South Korea through the DMZ but it has happened.
