Fugitive Slave Act Resistance and Community Intervention in the Oberlin Wellington Rescue Shipherd 1859

1859Best.-Nr. 176601859. Shipherd Jacob R. History of the Oberlin-Wellington Rescue 1859 documenting one of the most consequential acts of organized resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act in the years immediately preceding the American Civil War. The work records the seizure of John Price an escaped enslaved man captured by federal authorities in Oberlin Ohio on September 13 1858 and his subsequent transfer to Wellington in an effort to avoid local abolitionist intervention. Residents from Oberlin and surrounding communities assembled in Wellington confronted federal deputies and forcibly freed Price from custody enabling his escape to Canada through established antislavery networks. The episode prompted federal indictments against thirty-seven participants with only two convictions and became a focal point of national debate over federal enforcement power local resistance and the legal obligations imposed by the Fugitive Slave Act. Shipherd's narrative supported by contemporary participants and advocates provides detailed chronology identification of individuals involved and interpretive framing that aligns the Rescue with broader antislavery mobilization and constitutional conflict.

Overall good condition. A contemporary abolitionist account of a defining legal and political confrontation that intensified sectional divisions on the eve of the Civil War. unknown
