Town vigilance committees were a hallmark of nineteenth century law enforcement in the west region of USA

Explanation:

Vigilance was groups of groups that were established by citizens privately to administer the order in places they felt that the government was not doing enough. The term is more of a frontier in the west areas of America in the past centuries.

During that time, some people were attacking livestock farmers with gangs, so the groups played the roles of protecting the people against those crimes without using excessive force.

After sometimes, before the war, other communities joined and offered free services by transporting the slaves free for freedom.
