Why was Canada such an appealing place for runaway slaves to got to?

History

nignag [31]3 years ago

Hi, I'm pretty sure that is because for many slaves, Canada represented a dream of freedom where slave catchers and lynch mobs couldn’t hurt them. Slaves on the Underground Railroad endured months, and even years, of living like fugitives while bounty hunters and racist government policies were always trying to impede their flight to freedom.

Most slaves started out their journey on the Underground Railroad (which wasn’t an actual railroad but more of a resistance and escape route that was heavily organized by concerned American citizens) by running away from their plantation in the middle of the night. Often the runaway slave was alone, but on many occasions whole families would escape together.

Hope it helps you.

Suppose you have been appointed by the United Nations to oversee peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.
Fofino [41]
Two key terms for peace which would be sought by the Palestinian side would be the right of return of Palestinian refugees and that Israel stop building settlements in lands beyond what its borders were before 1967.  Palestinians strongly assert the right for those whose families were displaced dating back to 1948 to be able to return to the territory.  Connected to that, they would want to stop and even roll back settlements Israelis have built in what were Palestinian areas, particularly in the West Bank.

Israel would insist on Palestine swearing off all terrorism and even being demilitarized.  Israel also would want governing control over all of Jerusalem, including the Old City.   Both of these terms are items which Palestinians would object to strongly, saying they treat the two parties unequally.

There are other dynamics to the terms the two sides debate as conditions for peace, but those are some of the key issues.
