The Slave Hunters stopped at a bar of the White Family, and just passed the enslaved woman, who was hiding behind the counter. ]]> 2022-02-07 19:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2033884351 https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2033893690 This is where the home of one of the most active conductors of the Underground Railroad.

These railroads lead to places in Canada. Many of the enslaved peoples fled and ran away to other places, but after some time it became harder because of the laws put in place. The laws made it easy for slave owners to harshly punish the enslaved peoples they owned for running away. Some laws also allowed slave owners to punish enslaved people with death penalty. The deaths of the enslaved peoples happened often but there wasn't any backlash by the Government or other people with authority.]]> 2022-02-07 19:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2033908159 https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2033912258 Spring Hill was a residence owned by Thomas and Charity Rotch. They were Quakers who were abolitionists. When Thomas and Charity first built their log home, they harbored enslaved peoples in the upper story of their log cabin. Once they had newer house, they harbored enslaved people in their basement that was accessed by stair which was covered in the first floor. No enslaved people were ever caught in the Spring Hill residence. ]]> 2022-02-07 19:19:41 UTC https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2033912258 alsiopack22 https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2036364183 Camp Nelson was a Union depot that housed troops during the civil war. During the Civil War, Camp Nelson was a hospital and a refugee camp. After the Civil War, Camp Nelson was used as part of the Underground Railroad to help enslaved people by enlisting them to the army. This made them free and emancipated them from slavery. By 1865, Camp Nelson had emancipated more than 10,000 black Americans. Camp Nelson was a very big safe and refugee camp for enslaved people in Kentucky. ]]> 2022-02-08 19:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2036364183 alsiopack22 https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2036371048 Kentucky is one of the last states that enslaved people have to pass to get to freedom. St Paul's African Methodist Episcopal Church was a location that harbored enslaved peoples. There were a set of twisting stairs that led to a place where enslaved peoples would rest and wait for their next chance for a safe route. ]]> 2022-02-08 19:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2036371048 pgumm22 https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2036379234 Alexandria was also a main point for the underground railroads in Virginia. A main reason this was a important point in Virginia was because a man made the "Bruin's Slave Trade" and had many people of color leaving from Alexandria. The Bruin's Slave Trade started in 1840, so it was noted as a important place later than most other places. The people who lived here also fled to Canada through the underground railroads. Alexandria was also home to many "Slave Housing." In 1850, 90% of people of color living in Alexandria were enslaved. This meant that only 10% of people had Freedom. This is a main reason that the underground railroad in Alexandria was very helpful and boosted the amount of enslaved people gaining Freedom.]]> 2022-02-08 19:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2036379234 alsiopack22 https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2036386918 Liberty Farm was owned by Abby Kelley Foster, who was an abolitionist and suffragette. She married another abolitionist and opened her farm to help escaped enslaved black Americans to safety. Abby Kelley Foster fought for her rights which caused the state to try to auction off her house. Abby Kelley Foster stood strong and her friends bought out the house every time the state auctioned it. Abby Kelley Foster was very outspoken and attended many anti-slavery meetings. ]]> 2022-02-08 19:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pgumm22/zk9y8f4aa98rayww/wish/2036386918
