They would spend days being hungry, tired and mostly afraid to be discovered.]]> 2018-02-25 23:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235169923 On the plantation 3801156 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235564699 On this portion of the website, I was choqued to learn that poor families were often FORCED to sell their kids, and sometimes even AGAINST their will!]]> 2018-02-26 19:01:52 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235564699 Reaching safety 3801156 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235568306 It makes me sad that slaves never really  ate well. They were allowed less than half a bushel of cornmeal per week for four, and almost no meat and vegetables, save for some fatback.]]> 2018-02-26 19:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235568306 Secret wagons Danny_Liu_111 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235570807 During the escapes, many conductors used horse-drawn wagons to put slaves to safety. I'm surprised of how sophisticated these wagons might be sometimes. There could be secret compartments in the wagons.]]> 2018-02-26 19:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235570807 3801156 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235571250 2018-02-26 19:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235571250 3802428 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235572848 2018-02-26 19:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235572848 Leading the Way to Freedom 3801156 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235575285 It is definitly suprising to learn that Harriet Tubman led more than 300 people from slavery to freedom in the mid-1800s. As a slave in her early ages, she dreamed to help black people to have what they always deserved : freedom.

Some were conductors and others were safe-houses owners. At the end they all want to end slavery. I feel amazed at how courageous some might be, like Harriet Tubman.]]> 2018-02-26 19:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235575314 Unequal Americans. Danny_Liu_111 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235578775 It's truly sad to know that the slaves that were freed after the slavery time weren't treated as equals among the white Americans. Sometimes, the ones who discouraged the blacks were the ones that freed them from slavery. Even after the official message saying African Americans are American citizen in 1866, people still treat African Americans as lesser beings.]]> 2018-02-26 19:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235578775 The American Colonization Society 3802428 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235578975 The American Colonization Society is a organisation whose goal is to eliminate human slavery.

Other people , would leave and move to places more to the North and Canada]]> 2018-02-26 19:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235580905 Reaching Freedom 3801156 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235582346 At that point, they know that they are so close to being free, but they have to be careful. Trusting the wrong person could cost them their frredom, or even their lives.]]> 2018-02-26 19:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235582346 Wanted Slaves Danny_Liu_111 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235582485 I am shocked, shocked and dismayed to know that slaves that were freed by the abolitionists were being wanted by their masters. Once they've being freed, they become a prey. Their masters will start posting wanted pictures of them and thus making them hunted even in the North.]]> 2018-02-26 19:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/235582485 Escape 3803517 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/237128984 The slaves use to escape to the underground railroad by following certain clews ex : Watching for the North Star and looking where the moss on the trees grew.]]> 2018-03-01 19:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/237128984 Reaching Safety 3802428 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/237191636 States in the south of the Mason-Dixon line were slave states and states in the north were free states. It is unbievable how only few kilometers seperating the south and the north had such a significant difference in human rights. ]]> 2018-03-01 21:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/237191636 Differences between the Southern and Northern states. 3802428 https://padlet.com/3803517/vvoxo79hoeaw/wish/237197629 States in the north had more industrial power compared to the southern states.
