Water Temperature and Bleach. By Dr. Laundry â¢ August 12, 2010. Recently my family was cleaning my grandmaâs house. I was using hot water with bleach to wipe things down, thinking I was disinfecting the surfaces. My sister-in-law informed me that when you use hot water with bleach, you deactivate the bleach.
One has to wonder if these folks think that the personal liberty laws passed by northern states to block enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 were merely symbolic. Iâm sure northern blacks spared the agony of getting dragged off by some slaver didnât think so. And Southern states didnât either.
Reaction from Northern states was swift. In 1850, the same year as the compromise, Vermont was the first to pass a revised personal liberty law. Rhode Island and Connecticut followed suit in 1854. Three more states passed new personal liberty laws in 1855, and an additional two states joined them in 1858. With this clear pattern of cause-and-effect established throughout the first half of the 19th century between free and slave states, the stage was set for a monumental conflict.
