Said resistance was often a bit more emphatic than chucking some bread at a fed, too.

“Joshua Glover was a runaway slave who sought freedom in Racine in 1852. In 1854, his Missouri owner used the Fugitive Slave Act to apprehend him. This 1850 law permitted slave catchers to cross state lines to capture escaped slaves. Glover was taken to Milwaukee and imprisoned. Word spread about Glover’s incarceration and a great crowd gathered around the jail, demanding his release. They beat down the jail door and released Joshua Glover. He was eventually escorted to Canada and safety. The Glover incident helped galvanize abolitionist sentiment in Wisconsin. The case eventually led the state supreme court to defy the federal government by the declaring The Fugitive Slave Act unconstitutional. ” State Historical Society, 2001

I should also say that some of the questions are coming as Francis says he doesn't know the answer and councilmembers are literally sitting there googling the answers and finding them.

This is a thing that is happening.

Similar to hate watching. It’s joy arbitrage. If Wolves beat Man City, rapturous joy. If Man City win, “well of course they did.”
