Fug pensions new name

You're referring to the Fugitive Slave Act pensions!

In 1850, the United States Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act, which required Northerners to assist in the capture and return of escaped slaves to their Southern owners. The law was part of the Compromise of 1850, which aimed to maintain the balance of power between slave and free states.

The Fugitive Slave Act was repealed in 1864, during the Civil War, as part of the abolition of slavery. However, the pensions for the "fugitive slave commissioners" who enforced the law were not officially abolished until 1872.

As for a new name, it's worth noting that the concept of slavery and the Fugitive Slave Act are considered morally reprehensible and a stain on American history. It's unlikely that a new name would be given to these pensions, as they are a reminder of a painful and unjust period in American history.

Instead, efforts have been made to acknowledge and learn from this dark chapter in American history, with many museums, historical societies, and educational institutions working to preserve the stories and experiences of enslaved individuals and their descendants.
