The Oberlin-Wellington Rescue of 1858 in Lorain County, Ohio was a key event and cause celèbre in the history of the Abolitionist movement in the United States shortly before the American Civil War. A runaway slave was arrested in Oberlin, Ohio under the Fugitive Slave Law, but taken to Wellington. Rescuers took him by force from US marshals and back to Oberlin, then to freedom in Canada. Thirty-seven of the rescuers were at first indicted, but only two went to trial in federal court. The case received national attention, and defendants argued eloquently against the law. When rescue allies went to the 1859 Ohio Republican convention, they successfully added a repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 to the party platform. The rescue and continued actions of its participants kept the issue of slavery as part of the national discussion.
