Why? You quoted her. And it was Tommy DiLorenzo who quoted her in the link you provided. Quoted out of context, actually.
Also note “the trial by jury” was only to ensure free men were not returned as slaves”. It in no way was entended to help fugitive slaves.
It's intention was to do just that. Runaway slaves that wound up in non-slave states were not considered slaves. All those personal liberty laws were meant to protect that status.
There was also no provision for Habeas Corpus.
The provisions for a trial by jury makes statements about habeas corpus redundant. You can't have one without the other.
(Lincoln had no respect for Habeas Corpus, even in this matter).
Nonsense.

I did not say “don’t quote her”. I said be careful, which you obviously were not.

What is your source(s)? Why then did so many end up in Canada?
