We learned about the underground rail road in class. we learned that it was run by Hariet Tubman. Hariet Tubman was a former slave who escaped but made it her goal to go back and save as many more slaves as she could. We read several text book's out look on the under ground railroads and came across alot of the same material and some very different material. Looing at different doccuments helped us determain the truth and what may not be exactly true.most of the documents said stuff about people making stops along the way or white people helping the slaves. If any one ever got causght helping the slaves escape they would have to face legal charges. The slaves were veiwed as property so they treated it like it was stolen property not a person looking for freedom. I don't agree with this desicion and think that they shouldn't be trated as property.
