Book Preview:

#1 Anthony Burns was a slave who escaped bondage and ended up in Canada. He was a preacher, and he helped end slavery in America. He was also a Black man who could pass for white. -> The stories of slaves who escaped and got to Canada are well-known, but the stories of those who escaped and were taken to northern states by the Underground Railroad are less so.

#2 In 1854, Anthony Burns, a Black man, escaped from slavery and went to Canada. He was a preacher, and he helped end slavery in America.

#3 In the post-slavery cases, northern and southern Black communities collaborated to prevent the return of a wanted person, and Black lawyers played a prominent role in shaping community protest and legal strategy.

#4 Fugitives escaping slavery were helped by Black communities in northern states, and this helped end slavery.
