trolling here ? Slavery was legal and immoral. My question was about
things that were illegal.
The distinction is irrelevant, you can reverse it pretty easily: Since
slavery was legal, rescuing someone else's slave and freeing them (a
moral act) was illegal (it's theft, basically).
Do you know how many thousands of people were jailed for breaking the
law by assisting slaves to escape into freedom? Ever heard of the
Underground Railway? That wasn't legal, yet it was right.
