An A Redempção article argued that flight should no longer be treated as a crime. The claim contested the legal and police framework that made an enslaved person’s self-liberation punishable while protecting an owner’s claim. It reflects abolitionists’ effort to legitimize escape, but the argument did not mean that police violence or recapture had ended.
