William

When Mr. Sands left for the North, he decided to bring William with him. This was not a bad idea because Mr. Sands already seemed to be a kind master, and they would both be in the North where slavery was not as harsh.
William ran away from Mr. Sands even though he would have supplied him with a good home. Even though Mr. Sands had promised all of Linda's family freedom, time continued to pass, and they did not have complete freedom. William just wanted to be free, and he decided to run away in order to leave his life of slavery behind.
I believe that this was justified because all slaves deserve their freedom no matter what. But they shouldn't sit back and wait for a miracle, just like William didn't want to, they should do something about it. Which is what William decided to do.
