Best Answer

A lot of African-American slaves deserted their masters before and during the American Civil War. They were commonly referred to as "runaways".

Historically speaking, a Thracian gladiator named "Spartacus" led a slave revolt to become a renowned military leader between 73 and 71 BCE. His exploits have inspired many since his era.
