[CHLOE COOLEY!] <33

Can you believe it? We don't really think about it, but a few hundred years ago, slavery was LEGAL in Canada! Here's how Chloe Cooley contributed to helping end slavery in Canada.
Here is my project on Chloe Cooley, she was a slave in 1793.
On March 14 1793, Chloe Cooley's owner took her and tried to sell Chloe to a new owner in New York in the United States, against her will, and she protested against it. Peter Martin, a black veteran told Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe about her screaming and violent protesting, also William Grisley, who was a neighbor had seen and witnessed more of it, so he told Simcoe about it.That led Simcoe to make the July 1793 Act to Limit Slavery in Upper Canada, to completely get rid of slavery. Slavery in Canada wasn't over until 1834, so it did take some work before the slavery was completely done in Canada. After that, Canada became a place for slaves who were trying to get away from America. About 30 000 slaves traveled there until slavery was finally over in 1865. Chloe Cooley was a big contribute to ending slavery in Canada, and her name will always go along with the Act to Limit Slavery.
