most of them ended up in the maritime provinces and were protected!. they were free people in a free country!. i doubt that anyone would
allow them to be taken from a free country back to slavery!. there is a very large population of black families in eastern canada who are
the descendants of those slaves fled the south!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
