Slavery in America started in the 17th century and was abolished in 1865 when the Civil war was won by the North.

The first Black people in the USA came from Africa, where they were captured and sent to the USA as slaves.

African families were chained together.

Then, they were packed into dirty ships. Many died during the trip due to starvation and disease.

Over 200 years, around 600,000 slaves were brought to America to work on tobacco and cotton fields.

In the 19th century, slaves used a secret network to run away to Northern States or Canada.
"The Underground railroad" was a secret organization of routes and safe places.

Along the way, people who were against slavery, called abolitionists, hid the slaves and helped them to the next stop.

Runaways could only travel at night, they had to disguise themselves and couldn't speak to anyone.

Between 30,000 and 100,000 used the secret system to make their way to freedom.
It started in the early 1800s and ended in 1863 during the Civil War.
