Jerry Rescue : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jerry Rescue
The Jerry Rescue, on October 1, 1851, involved the daring, public rescue of a fugitive slave who had been arrested the same day, in Syracuse, New York, during the anti-slavery Liberty Party's state convention. The escaped slave was William Henry, a 40-year-old cooper from Missouri who called himself "Jerry." ==History== The fight against slavery in Central New York and the Finger Lakes region and the desire to help escaped slaves occurred, because New York State was a ''free state'' and a number of well positioned citizens, who were sympathetic to the slaves, lived in the area. The central location of Syracuse meant that many slaves passed through the area "on their way to freedom" in Canada.
