She was born a slave in Maryland. IN 1849, she escaped leaving her husband and children in order to escape. Despite the bounty tied to her name she returned to the south at least 19 times to help her family and friends as well as hundreds of others to freedom through the underground railroad. She also served as a scout during the civil war.
John Brown-  Harbored runaways at his home and warehouse, and established an anti-slave catcher militia following the 1850 passage of the Fugitive slave act. Participated in "Bleeding Kansas" which resulted in the murder of five pro-slavery settlers. Brown engaged in many other conflicts that led towards the eventual freedom for Slaves in the United States.]]> 2018-05-20 22:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/20pettgr/5ixqq9wgt9dc/wish/262217604 20pettgr https://padlet.com/20pettgr/5ixqq9wgt9dc/wish/262222951 The underground railroad played a major role in the eventual freedom of Slaves in the United States. This was a name for the routes taken by slaves to freedom where they traveled from place to place hiding out until it was safe to travel. It helped hundreds of escaped slaves escape to freedom. It also caused the south to lose morale in the Civil War, which helped the north in the war effort.]]> 2018-05-20 23:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/20pettgr/5ixqq9wgt9dc/wish/262222951 20pettgr https://padlet.com/20pettgr/5ixqq9wgt9dc/wish/262254702 The underground railroad, obviously, isn't  exactly in one spot. The routes come from anywhere in the south, mostly stemming from the deep south. It originally ended somewhere in the north but eventually "conductors began helping slaves escape to Canada due to the Fugitive Slave Law in 1850.
The underground railroad started roughly in the 1790s, before the civil war and continued to after the war in the 1860s.]]> 2018-05-21 03:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/20pettgr/5ixqq9wgt9dc/wish/262254702 20pettgr https://padlet.com/20pettgr/5ixqq9wgt9dc/wish/262255735 The underground railroad started because Americans in the north no longer wanted there to be slavery in the United States. They could no longer put up with the injustice. People began to take matters into their own hands and help escaped slaves return to freedom. They made it possible for hundreds of slaves escape to freedom ]]> 2018-05-21 03:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/20pettgr/5ixqq9wgt9dc/wish/262255735
