I'm pretty sure the civil war was about the northern states' right to not capture and return escaped slaves
Funny story. Back in the day, Massachusetts found a loophole- there was a case in my town, where a couple slave catchers showed up, and grabbed the wrong guy- the son of a buisness owner and prominent black family.
They were immediately besset upon by a mob, and got thrown in jail. There were riots, and people threatening to burn down the jail ( a 1room shack with just the 2 slavers in it)
When they were brought in for arraignment, judge decided on a summary judgment, claiming it was too dangerous for them, to either be released or held in custody for a trial.
He opted to impress them I to service, on a whaling ship, which was a 90% black crew.
Yep, he litterally made them slaves ri a black man. They were both 'lost at sea' within 2 months.
This is like "it's turtles all the way down" except it's fucked-up legal situations all the way down.
Legal slavery 👉 Legal slave-hunting 👉 Caught the wrong guy 👉 Threat of mob justice 👉 No trial 👉 Impressed to service 👉 Legal whale hunting 👉 Almost certainly murdered at sea
