If I see any runaway slaves coming through I'll be sure not to tell my neighbors we should try and hide them.

That conundrum was not resolved through speech, but through war. And, unfortunately, that war did not go far enough, as slaveowner politics quickly reasserted themselves.

I don't know what point you are trying to make.

Most of us would find a law that prohibits encouraging slaves from revolting or freeing themselves; to be horrid. Arguments that such laws don't really restrict freedom of speech because they're only encouraging an illegal act, would ring quite hollow. You might well be accused of sophistry if you made the argument seriously today; the act that's illegal to advocate is a fundamental right of all men, after all.

Conscripts are enslaved. What some may call a mutiny of conscripts others might call a slave rebellion. Let's just take that axiomatically for now. Obviously not all agree. But many accept that argument completely. Arguing it does not infringe free speech to call for people to free themselves, because it's only prohibiting the encouragement of a crime rings similarly hollow, from that perspective.

That it has been in the past, and still often is in some cases, moral to tell people to break the law, and immoral to tell them they shouldn't.
