Took the following out, even though it is true to some extent - as it was placed in the wrong position ("Further Reading"):
It was said that the punishment for the townspeople was just a slap on the wrist. 20 people were put on trial in Cleveland and they were guilty but only had a fine.
Perhaps before we talk about this, a discussion of the Wellington versus the Oberlin rescuers would be helpful. Also, I'm adding a suggested reading, though I'm not sure if it has an ISBN number as it is a local publication.

After touching up the article a little bit, I was wondering what anyone who reads this would think of a general overview of how religion - and more specifically abolitionist-oriented religion - played into the situation. I am working on this in relationship to my Honors Thesis at Kent State University and plan on using the event as a major point of interest.
