Many enslaved African Americans went to Mexico for sanctuary. When slave owners demanded that Mexico send them back, Mexico replied:
“There are no Black slaves in Mexico, only Black citizens,”
They insisted that all enslaved people were free when they set foot on Mexican soil. Slave owners then hired bounty hunters to illegally kidnap escapees in Mexico, but Mexico fought and killed to protect them.
