Despite the clear triumph of this case, and the many classes I have taken relating to American history, I have never heard anything about it before reading this. The case shows a early victory for abolition, that should be highlighted when discussing the topic, but normally the cases shown in classes are only set backs, such as Dred Scott v. Stanford. By not mentioning the triumphs of abolitionists in the 19th century, it makes it seem like progress is recent, instead of a fight lead by many generations of people who saw injustice in the world and decided to be the change they wanted to see in the world, which I find inspiring.
