However, in demonstrating the recent shift away from Campbell&#8217;s signature thesis of faithful enforcement, detailed in <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/hist-wingert\/2019\/09\/09\/stanley-campbells-the-slave-catchers-1970\/\">another post<\/a>, it also seems increasingly necessary to grapple (however briefly) with the related work of scholars such as <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/hist-wingert\/2019\/09\/02\/historiography-stanley-harrolds-border-war-2010\/\">Stanley Harrold<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/hist-wingert\/2019\/09\/06\/historiography-robert-churchills-fugitive-slave-rescues-in-the-north-2014-and-when-the-slave-catchers-came-to-town-2018\/\">Robert Churchill<\/a>. Discussing their scholarship, which has largely eroded the pillars of Campbell&#8217;s argument by showcasing the breadth and ubiquity of Northern resistance to slave catching along the North-South border, could be crucial to situating my own work in a recent scholarly trend that has emphasized the power of anti-slavery violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I put the finishing touches on the first half of Chapter 1, which traces the evolving legacy of U.S. Commissioners in the post-war period, I&#8217;m turning my full attention to incorporating recent scholarly developments to complete the latter half of the chapter.
