During resistance efforts, how did Elijah Parish Lovejoy die? He was an escaped slave who also spoke out against slavery, and he was caught and hanged for his defiant opposition. He was a sea captain who helped slaves escape, and U.S. Marshals arrested him and later hung him in Pensacola, Florida. He was a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad, and when law enforcement entered his home to arrest him, he resisted and was shot to death. He was a minister who owned printing presses used to print anti-slavery messages, and he died protecting one of his presses from an angry mob.
