The slaves in the North had been freed, and many Northerners believed the South should free their slaves too. Among the Northerners who wished to abolish slavery were a group known as abolitionists. For years the abolitionists had helped slaved escape from their Southern masters into the free Northern states and into free Canada. In Boston there were many aboloitionists, and it was in Boston that Danny McFarlane lived in 1860. ; B&W Illustrations; 191 pages
