• How did slave owners prevent slaves from escaping?• What were some ways to escape slavery?• Did all Americans agree on the issue of slavery?• Where could escaped slaves be safe?• Would everyone have been allowed on ride on a train?

Building Background

• At one time in America, slavery was legal in many states. Many Africans were kidnapped from their homes and forced into slavery in America. During that time, their descendents were born into slavery.

• Many people were opposed to slavery, and early in U.S. history the practice had been outlawed in Northern states. People working to nationally outlaw the practice were called “abolitionists” because they wanted to abolish slavery.

• The Underground Railroad does not refer to an actual railroad but to a system of safe houses and guides who helped slaves escape to the North and then to Canada. Most escaped slaves undertook the journey on foot.

• Many slaves were deeply religious. Although they suffered much, they were also thankful when good things happened in their lives. The Crafts, for instance, pray and offer thanks several times in this selection.
