Everything (probably) you'd want to know about Canadian Samuel Bass, whose efforts started the process that resulted in Solomon Northup being released from slavery. Northup, a free man, was kidnapped and sold into slavery before the Civil War. He authored a book following his release. That book, Twelve Years a Slave, has been made into a film directed by Steve McQueen. Brad Pitt plays the role of Bass in the picture. 

Full story of Bass here:   

I am not American and I don't care if it 'is just what your economy needs right now.' (Um not it's not even)

Don't be touchin' that oil, you've spilled damn plenty and still don't even know how to clean it up properly.

You're fucking with native land.

Nobody even wants you to do this what the fuck.

Stop.
