Pаssаge 5 (1) In the lаte 1700s, slavery in the Nоrth became less widespread. In 1774, Philadelphians, amоng them Benjamin Franklin, оrganized an anti-slavery society. Pressure from this group and from Quakers resulted in Pennsylvania becoming in the first state to declare slavery illegal in 1780. Soon after, other states followed. Slaves themselves were also very active in challenging human bondage. (2) Quok Walker of Massachusetts ran away from his master in April 1781 and sought refuge with a friendly neighbor. His master found Walker a few days later and attacked him with a whip. Beaten severely, Walker stood his ground. He sued for his freedom, pointing out that the new state constitution stated that “all men are born free and equal.” The State Superior Court ruled in Walker’s favor in 1783, and this decision signaled the end of slavery in Massachusetts. (3) Other events followed, and by 1804, every state north of the Ohio River had passed anti-slavery laws.
