Harriet Tubman, one of America's most courageous people ever, was a leader of the Underground Railroad movement. As we saw in class last week, she could have stayed in Canada once she escaped but chose to return up to 20 times to save others!
Historians quibble over exactly how many people she helped lead to freedom. In fact, some people claim the threat of her actions was scarier to slave owners rather than whatever number she actually freed.
For this week's blog, please visit this website. There are four sections you need to read: The Underground Railroad, Levi Coffin's Underground Railroad Station, Fugitives Arriving at an Indiana Farm and Harriet Tubman. For each section, list the five most interesting things you learned. Then, write a brief reflection on the Underground Railroad system. What is your reaction to what you read about this week?

Piece to our puzzle but a big impact to our country.

Under ground Railroad:
ReplyDelete1.was not run by any single organization or person. Rather, it consisted of many individuals -- many whites but predominently black.
2. the South lost 100,000 slaves between 1810 and 1850.
3. In 1786 George Washington complained about how one of his runaway slaves was helped by a "society of Quakers, formed for such purposes." The system grew, and around 1831 it was dubbed "The Underground Railroad," after the then emerging steam railroads.
4. The first step was to escape from the slaveholder. For many slaves, this meant relying on his or her own resources. Sometimes a "conductor," posing as a slave, would enter a plantation and then guide the runaways northward. The fugitives would move at night. They would generally travel between 10 and 20 miles to the next station, where they would rest and eat, hiding in barns and other out-of-the-way places.
5. Vigilance committees sprang up in the larger towns and cities of the North, most prominently in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. In addition to soliciting money, the organizations provided food, lodging and money, and helped the fugitives settle into a community by helping them find jobs and providing letters of recommendation.
Levi:
1. I learned that the fugitive slaves who took refuge with these people were often pursued and captured, the colored people not being very skillful in concealing them, or shrewd in making arrangements to forward them to Canada..
2.In the winter of 1826-27, fugitives began to come to our house, and as it became more widely known on different routes that the slaves fleeing from bondage would find a welcome and shelter at our house, and be forwarded safely on their journey.
3.the Underground Railroad business increased as time advanced, and it was attended with heavy expenses, which I cound not have borne had not my affairs been prosperous.
4. These journeys had to be made at night, often through deep mud and bad roads, and along by ways that were seldom traveled. Every precaution to evade pursuit had to be used, as the hunters were often on the track, and sometimes ahead of the slaves....
5. at different points on the Ohio River, where fugitives generally crossed, and to those northward of us on the various routes leading to Canada.... Three principal lines from the South converged at my house: one from Cincinati, one from Madison, and one from Jeffersonville, Indiana
Fugitives:
1.Around 1893, American artist Charles T. Webber painted The Underground Railroad.
2. The painting shows fugitive slaves arriving at the farm of Levi Coffin
3. helped more than 3,000 slaves escape to freedom.
4. It also shows Levi Coffin, who is standing on the wagon, Coffin's wife, Catherine, and the noted abolitionist, Hannah Haydock.
5. as a tribute to the work of abolitionists earlier in the century
Harriet Tubman:
1. conductors." During a ten-year span she made 19 trips into the South and escorted over 300 slaves to freedom.
2. She never lost a single passenger.
3. was born a slave in Maryland's Dorchester County around 1820.
4. 1849, in fear that she, along with the other slaves on the plantation, was to be sold, Tubman resolved to run away. She set out one night on foot. With some assistance from a friendly white woman, Tubman was on her way. She followed the North Star by night, making her way to Pennsylvania and soon after to Philadelphia,
5. had made the perilous trip to slave country 19 times by 1860, including one especially challenging journey in which she rescued her 70-year-old parents. Of the famed heroine, who became known as "Moses.
The Underground Railroad was a legacy or Harriet Tubman and Levi. If it wasn't for those people, us whites could be extremely cruel. That system showed people what slaves can do.

I think that the Underground Railroad was very important and it was a miracle to all slaves. Also, I respect Harriet Tubman for saving a whole bunch of slaves. I don't think anyone else would risk their life 19 times to save a lot of slaves. If it weren't for Harriet and Levi, I think that there would still be a lot of slaves til this very day.

The Underground Railroad system was one made up of several stations, where slaves could rest in their journeys to the North. Tubman, and several others were known for owning “stations” in this movement; thousands of slaves were freed in the end.
Personally, I never really knew much about the Underground Railroad. It is almost surprising to me that this many people would put their lives on the line to assist slaves in their perilous journey to the North.

The Underground Railroad is an amazing thing that happened to the slaves of this time. I believe that Underground Railroad was possibly the greatest thing that happened in slavery besides the freeing of slaves. The things that I have read this week have made me feel like I actually know something about the Underground Railroad. The things I have read also make me really happy that this actually happened and the fact the a white personal technically helped them to escape. That makes me so happy for my ancestors.

The Underground Railroad was a brilliant idea and it worked out well.

What do I think about the Underground Railroad? I think that it was a great thing that white people actually helped some of the slaves out, and that some of the famous slaves actually helped save a lot of people and made those dangerous trips. Yeah I think that slavery was wrong, but I also think that if it would have never happened that people around the world today wouldn't know how to stand up for one another.
