    We’re not going to discuss how the US wanted Mexico to sign the Fugitive slave act? How México welcomed runaway slaves? How México stood up to the US government and stated that every black persons to reach Mexican soil was a freeman ?

    Deuteronomy 23: 15 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee: 16He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
