Excerpt from The Refugees From Slavery in Canada West: Report to the Freedmen's Inquiry Commission No! The refugees in Canada earn a living, and gather property; they marry and respect women; they build churches, and send their children to schools; they improve in manners and morals, - not because they are picked men, but simply because they are free men. Each of them may say, as millions will soon say, When I was a slave, I spake as a slave, I understood as a slave, I thought as a slave but when I became a free man, I put away slavish things.

Benjamin Drew’s "North-Side View of Slavery: The Refugee, or the Narratives of Fugitive Slaves in Canada" (1856) is a collection of his interviews with former slaves living in Canada who had escaped from the United States, and an invaluable example of the transnational abolitionist movement’s political agenda. These edited oral accounts show how these runaways turned into African Canadians and reconfigured new meanings of Blackness in Canada, set out the foundations of a Black Canadian sense of attachment, and eventually helped to reshape North America by contributing to the birth of the Canadian nation-state.
