Slavery began in the 1600's and continued until the late 1800's. That's when the war against the Northern (free states) states and the Southern (free states) states began. The northern states were against slavery and allowed runway slaves to stay in the north. It was every slave's dream to be free. But if the slave was recognized the slave would be recaptured and taken back to the south. Eventually the Northern states won the war and all slaves were sent free.
