Canada had slaves it must be destroyed Afua Cooperstates that slavery is "Canada's best kept secret, locked within the National closet". [4] some Black Canadians today are descended from these slaves.

Canada's secret slave-owning past revealed

You've heard this story before, a group of slaves escape for freedom in the middle of the night. But, here's the twist: These slaves weren't running towards Canada, they were running away from it.

They were fleeing from Canadian slave owners and headed for freedom in Detroit.

The brutal depiction of life for U.S. slaves is back in the spotlight thanks to the Oscar-nominated film 12 Years a Slave. While American slavery is having its moment in Hollywood, the story of Canadian slaves — whose lives were as unjust and inhumane as those in the south — has largely been ignored.

"We tend to think of it as 'not in my backyard' myth about slavery," says Delorean Kilen, project coordinator at the Ontario Black History Society. "People don't remember that slavery existed here because we've been 'slave-free' longer than the U.S."

Slavery existed in Canada for 200 years and was officially abolished 30 years before the Emancipation Proclamation order was issued by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.
