Former slave, William Parker, escaped to Pennsylvania where he became an abolitionist and anti-slavery activist. He was a farmer and led a black self-defense organization in Christina. He was a principal figure in the Christina riot (or incident). A Maryland slaveowner, Edward Gorsuch, who had four slaves who fled over the state border to Parker's farm, was killed and other white men were wounded in the attempt to capture the slaves. This brought national attention to the challenges of enforcing the Fugitive Slave Law of 2850.
Parker fled to New York and then to Canada. Thirty-eight men were indicted, but only one was tried. He was acquitted by the jury in 15 minutes.
