Fugitive Slaves in the United States is a rather bare article, and I feel that expanding it would be a worthy contribution related to our class discussions. Fugitive slaves, and the movement of them, surely had diverse effects for the country as a whole. An article simply titled "Fugitive Slaves" is missing from Wikipedia altogether. I would certainly be interested in creating an article for a general sense of the life and travels of fugitive slaves around the world, although I am not sure if that would be too broad a topic for our class. The Great Migration of Canada is another start-class article that could be of importance. It is certainly within the scope of travel within the Americas. The article states that "over 800,000" people migrated to Canada in the early 19th century, and migration to Canada is one thing we have not talked about too much in the class. The Great Slave Auction is yet another article that is extremely bare, but could be of importance to our class. A large sale of slaves means a large movement of slaves from one area of the country to another. If any of them were to have documented this move, it could contribute nicely to the article.
