Mary Shadd Cary was an abolitionist of African-American descent, who disagreed with the separate, but equal theory of many of her peers in the struggle for liberty and freedom of African-Americans. When the Fugitive Slave Act was enacted in 1859, which denied runaway enslaves a trial by jury and the opportunity to testify on their own behalf, Cary protested that the act jeopardized all blacks residing in the United States and justified their moving to Canada or other countries.
