In the early decades after the American Revolution, as English-speaking settlers began to settle in southern Ontario, including some from the US, there was still slavery in Ontario. On a visit to Canada about 20 years ago I picked up a pamphlet about the topic which said there were cases of Canadian slaves escaping to freedom in the US (since slavery had been banned in the Northwest Territory).
