Fugitive Slaves, 1619-1865 by Marion G. McDougall is a comprehensive historical account of the experience of enslaved people who escaped from bondage in America from the early colonial period to the end of the Civil War. The book examines the various methods used by enslaved people to flee from their masters, including running away, hiding, and seeking refuge with abolitionists and sympathetic individuals. The author analyzes the impact of fugitive slaves on the institution of slavery and the political and social tensions that arose as a result of their escape. McDougall also explores the legal and cultural frameworks that enabled the capture and return of fugitive slaves, including the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. The book draws on a range of primary sources, including slave narratives, court records, and newspaper accounts, to provide a rich and nuanced portrayal of the experiences of fugitive slaves and the complex social and political context in which they lived. Ultimately, Fugitive Slaves, 1619-1865 offers a powerful and compelling account of one of the most significant and enduring struggles for freedom in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
