Book Overview

Fugitive Slaves, 1619-1865 by Marion G. McDougall is a historical account of the experiences of enslaved people who escaped from bondage in America from the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade until the end of the Civil War. The book explores the various ways in which enslaved people managed to escape, including through the Underground Railroad, and the risks and dangers they faced in doing so. McDougall also examines the legal and social implications of fugitive slaves, including the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and the impact of the abolitionist movement. Through primary sources and historical research, Fugitive Slaves offers a comprehensive look at the experiences of enslaved people who sought freedom and the impact of their actions on 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.
