 The Black Abolitionist Papers: Vol. II: Canada, 1830-1865, Edited by C. Peter Ripley. Introduction.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Canada's reputation as a land of freedom and opportunity emerged from Canadian antislavery legislation, from the reluctance of Canadian courts to extradite American fugitive slaves, and from Canada's colorblind political and legal system.
Canada was the northern terminus of the underground railroad—a historical phenomenon that abolitionists and southern propagandists alike mythologized into a highly complex, secret network that sent agents into the slave states to spirit thousands of bondsmen north to freedom.
Canada proved to be a temporary refuge from southern slavery, slave catchers, legal inequality, and northern racial prejudice.

Yet, as Yale historian Robin Winks noted in his 1971 book "The Blacks in Canada," racism was as pervasive in Canada as in northern states such as New York and Ohio, where abolitionists were in a distinct minority, and most of the former slaves returned to the United States during the Civil War and after.
In the 20th century, McCarthyism proved to be an unexpected boon to Canada, as some fllisted American intellectuals, accused of being communist sympathizers, found refuge above the 49th parallel.
