In class we read a chapter from Harriet Stowes novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin". I had Harriet as my person to research so i came to class with alittle more knowledge on her and her background. She was an aboloinitionist that work twords getting the Fugitve slave act repealed. In class we saw how slaves would risk a posibitly of getting caught or being more badly beaten for a posibility of freedom if you succeed. I thought that if i was in there place i would take the risk of being free because you really have nothing to lose but you have so much more to gain. It maybe hard leaving the people you care about butonce you are free you could try and go back and save others as well like other people like Harriet Tubman had done.
