Description
The article describes the two mass escapes of enslaved people from Northern Kentucky that took place in April and May of 1847, and the unsuccessful attempt of the slaveholders to take the freedom seekers back the following October. That attempt, known at the time as the "Kentucky Raid" in the north and the "Cassopolis Outrage" in the south, starkly illustrate the sharp divide in viewpoints over enslavement that existed at that time.
