The Crafts! Best story ever. To escape, Ellen masqueraded as a male slaveowner (she was 3/4 European) and her husband William as her "servant". After being chased around the North by slavecatchers they made it to the UK and lived happily ever after (until the Civil War was over and then they returned - the UK, despite being the true land of freedom, is still pretty shit. Can confirm, am British.)
