"Our old masters, having heard how their agents were treated at Boston, wrote to Mr. Filmore, who was then President of the States, to know what he could do to have us sent back to slavery. Mr. Filmore said that we should be returned. He gave instructions for military force to be sent to Boston to assist the officers in making the arrest."
Even the president at the time couldn't make anything happen. I felt like I was reading some gossip and sipped my tea slow. Hats off to this power couple who refused to be prisoners in a f****d up society where you are treated worse than dogs because of the color of your skin. So glad these two had a happy ending despite their unfortunate beginning.
"I have often seen slaves tortured in every conceivable manner. I have seen him hunted down and torn by bloodhounds. I have seen them shamefully beaten, and branded with hot irons. I have seen them hunted, and even burned alive at the stake, frequently for offences that would be applauded if committed by white persons for similar purposes. In short, it is well known in England, if not all over the world, that the Americans, as a people, are notoriously mean and cruel towards all coloured persons, whether they are bond or free."
This was amazing. 10 out of 10. It's free, just do your google search. #couplesgoals… (meer)
