Somer+Safford+Undergroud+Railroad

// What i learned about the Underground Railroad is that the slaves where brought to America by boats or a boat called "The Brookes". I also learned that the slaves had songs about escaping that only the slaves understood.The slaves all wanted to go to Canada where they could truely be free.To get to Canada they went to certain stops on the Undergreound Railroad.The Underground Railroad was not a true railroad it was made up of houses of free slaves and Quakers.I learned that in History.Quakers are whites in the north that beleive slavery was wrong.They had to secretly help because if you got caught you either had to pay a 1,000 dollar fine or up to 6 months in prison.One slave by the name of Harriet Tubman got to the north and was free but that was not all she went back to the south 19 times to help other slaves to freedom.I learned that in English.During the time of slavery race was a big deal.Race is when a certain type of people like whites think they are the rulers of all the other people like the blacks that is why there where slaves in the first place.I learned that in Science.That is what i learned in my classes about slavery. //
