I am an Abolitionist
My family is abolitionists in 1855, and I am home in bed, all of a sudden I hear a knocking on the door. Then I hear singing, it sounds like Harriett Tubman. She is the Moses of slaving slaves. She had just asked my dad if it was safe to stay for a night or two, to get some sleep and eat some hot food. Dad says yes. I have 9 slaves in my house now. The Underground Railroad is not a railroad, and it is not underground. It is named that because it is a secret route for the escaping slaves from the south. It was lead by Harriett Tubman, yes a very brave woman. She escaped from being a slave in 1849, but then came back to save other slaves. So they would have a taste of freedom too
