505 0  Introduction: The said Med -- Before Med : James Somerset 
       and Phillis Wheatley -- Slaves cannot breathe in Boston --
       All girls are bound to someone -- Maria Sommersett, the 
       American Stewart, and Dred Scott -- Free soil fictions -- 
       Conclusion: Sarah, Ruby, and Med. 
520    "In 1836, an enslaved six-year-old girl named Med was 
       brought to Boston by a woman from New Orleans who claimed 
       her as property. Learning of the girl's arrival in the 
       city, the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society (BFASS) waged
       a legal fight to secure her freedom and affirm the free 
       soil of Massachusetts. While Chief Justice Lemuel Shaw 
       ruled quite narrowly in the case that enslaved people 
       brought to Massachusetts could not be held against their 
       will, BFASS claimed a broad victory for the abolitionist 
       cause, and Med was released to the care of a local 
       institution. When she died two years later, celebration 
       quickly turned to silence, and her story was soon 
       forgotten. As a result, Commonwealth v. Aves is little 
       known outside of legal scholarship. In this book, Karen 
       Woods Weierman complicates Boston's identity as the 
       birthplace of abolition and the cradle of liberty, and 
       restores Med to her rightful place in antislavery history 
       by situating her story in the context of other writings on
       slavery, childhood, and the law"--|cProvided by publisher.
