"The Drapetomaniac." Nice. For those who don't know the word, it was a bogus psychological label for slaves who couldn't be content in servitude, and ran away instead of meekly obeying. Obviously, that meant something was wrong with the disobedient runaways. They were mentally ill!

Wow, ok, no I didn't know that - but I'm not surprised that 'science' so diligently obliged by defining the 'dysfunction'! There are probably numerous 'diagnoses' along such lines today too.
It didn't carry much weight even in its day, but there was an effort to discredit runaways through diagnosis.
