Subject: <<Harriet Heming's identity as a fugitive slave was never
discovered in her lifetime>>

I say: In Latin, a fugitive is an escapee but it seems to be that in English,
a fugitive is an escapee who's being chased down. Thomas Jefferson
wasn't treating his children by Sally Heming like slaves and even if
Harriet was a slave, she wasn't being chased down.
Harriet made her way to Philly, and married a white man, passing as
white without anyone getting the wiser in her lifetime. Is it accurate to
call Harriet a fugitive?
