    Before reading Slavery in the North by Shane White I was not familiar with the slavery that took place in the north.

    Most Northerners didn’t hate slavery enough to do anything about it. Sadly, it was an ugly part of American culture and people were content ignoring it so they could go about their lives. They didn’t agree with slavery but they feared that if the slaves were freed they would move north and take jobs away from white families. White people in the North were expanding westward into the territories where they could farm their own land and make money off crops. They did not want the territories to have the southern slave based labor system because it would only benefit a few wealthy people and it would greatly harm the country’s economy to expand slavery.…

    It angered free states as it made it a federal responsibility to return fugitive slaves to their owners, and made it a felony to interfere. In addition, it denied the fugitive’s right to a jury trial, instead instituting special commissioners who would be paid more for “returned” slaves, than if alleged fugitives were released. This opened the door for free people of color to be captured and sent to the South, and with no legal way, or right to plead their case, they were defenseless.…

    On January 13, 1777 seven African-American men in Massachusetts came together to go to the courts and their goal was to gain freedom. These men were slaves and in order for them to be set free they had the choice of running away, with the possibility of getting caught, or gathering a petition to take to the Massachusetts court. Just because these men had a petition does not mean that it would be passed. The Massachusetts colonial government had no say in making slaves free or not. Back in the day slaves were seen as people that were not book smart because they lacked education and that meant they could not read or write but they knew their rights. The slaves were much underestimated but they turned to the Constitution to prove their rights.
