Narrative of William Wells Brown, a Fugitive Slave, Written by himself. Two years later he traveled to England to lecture on the abolition circuit, as Frederick Douglass had done. While he was there, the U.S. Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act (1850), making it impossible for Brown to return to the United States without either facing reenslavement or purchasing his freedom from the man who claimed to own him. Brown refused to do either. He was trapped in England, but he prospered there, publishing new versions of his narrative and writing and publishing
