Myers, published Lee & Walker, New Orleans, 1850. VG. Stevens opposed the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act. In fact, in 1851, Stevens was one of the defense lawyers in the trial of 38 African-Americans and three others in federal court in Philadelphia on treason charges. The defendants had been implicated in the so-called Christiana Riot: an attempt to enforce a Fugitive Slave Act warrant had resulted in the killing of the slaveowner.
