as soon as the california constitution has passed that says that slavery is abolished in california, the legislature starts to meet, even before california is officially admitted to the union, and they pass a series of laws. this will come back to haunt enslaved african-americans. one is, you don't have the right to testify, and you don't have the right to vote if you are an african-american or chinese or native american indian, and so you are very vulnerable. as slaves run away and those who are captured are seized, dragged down the mountains, pulled behind buggies, pulled behind mules into the nearby cities, they start to face the criminal justice system, and the set of laws goes into place. it is in the u.s. constitution that there is a fugitive slave law that says a runaway slave has to be returned. in case that wasn't enough, 1790 , congress passes another fugitive slave law. the big one is the national fugitive slave law of the 1850's, and that is why there are so many free blacks in california. some of them come out for mining, like everyone else, and some are fleeing the fugi
