The Jerry Rescue occurred on October 1, 1851, and involved the public rescue of a fugitive slave who had been arrested the same day in Syracuse, New York, during the anti-slavery Liberty Party's state convention.

Background New York was sympathetic to slaves because it was a free state, and a number of abolitionists lived in the area.

Jerry (WWII)
There are many terms for the Germans. In English the demonym, or noun, is German. During the early Renaissance, "German" implied that the person spoke German as a native language. Until the German unification, people living in what is now Germany were named for the region in which they lived: Examples are Bavarians and Brandenburgers. Some terms are humorous or pejorative slang, and used mainly by people from other countries, although they can be used in a self-deprecating way by German people themselves. Other terms are serious or tongue-in-cheek attempts to coin words as alternatives to the ambiguous standard terms. Many pejorative terms for Germans in various countries originated during the two World Wars. English Hun (pejorative) ''Hun'' (or ''The Hun'') is a term that originally refers to the nomadic Huns of the Migration Period.

Jerry (play)
''Jerry'' is a 1914 American play by Catherine Chisholm Cushing, written as a star vehicle for Billie Burke. It premiered on Broadway March 28, 1914 at the Lyceum Theatre, directed by Charles Frohman. After a three-month New York run, Burke toured the U.S. with the play, including runs in Chicago, Texas, Oklahoma, and Seattle. Although Burke was American-born, ''Jerry'' was the first time Burke appeared in a play by an American author, and the first time she played an American character onstage. She plays a brash Chicago girl visiting staid Philadelphia relatives. She ends up stealing away and marrying her Aunt Joan's longtime fiance, Montague Wade. The ''New York Times'' review of the play singled out Gladys Hanson for praise in the role of the aunt, Joan Doubleday, while criticizing Burke for "irritating" overacting. "Jerry is Billie Burke raised to the nth power, Billie Burke laid on thick, Billie Burke very much overdone," while acknowledging that her fans were probably fi ...
