The New York (City) Herald editorializes in favor of the continued status quo on slavery: “The immense increase in the numbers [of slaves] within so short a time speaks for the good treatment and happy contended lot of the slaves. They are comfortably fed, housed and clothed, and seldom or never overworked.”
Questions:
- Why were slaves continually trying to escape?
- Why was there a fugitive slave law?
- Why was there an “underground railroad” sending self-emancipated slaves to Canada?
