Now, here's a fun fact: did you know that some Northern states had laws that prohibited slavery, but still allowed indentured servitude? It's like, they were all, "Hey, we don't believe in slavery... but we still need some free labor, am I right?" Crazy, right?

In Pennsylvania, for example, they had a law that said if a slave was in the state for more than six months, they were automatically free. But, only if they were in the state for leisure - if they were there for work, they were still considered a slave. What? It's like, they wanted to have their cake and eat it too!

And then, there's the story of Ona Judge, a slave who escaped from George Washington's household in Philadelphia. She made a break for it, and even though Washington tried to catch her, she was never found. Talk about a boss move!
