There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter

Part of what's great about Eric Foner's scholarship on this, for our purposes, is that it's about responding to kidnappings in an urban environment!
