Explanation:

This question refers to the text "Margaret Garner: Defying the Fugitive Slave Act" by Levi Coffin. In this text, we learn the tragic story of a runaway slave named Margaret. Margaret escaped slavery in Kentucky, crossing the frozen Ohio river towards the North. However, she was captured before she could join the Underground Railroad. Margaret decided to kill her child rather than allowing her to become a slave. The story is meant to show the levels of anguish and desperation that slaves felt, and the lack of power that they had, as even this desperation did not stop Margaret from being captured and sent back.
