What I Know

Directions : Read the brief synopsis of Harriet Tubman ’ s life. Highlight any information you didn ’ t know prior to the reading or that stands out to you as important and note worthy.

Harriet Tubman - A worker on the Underground Railroad, made 19 trips to the South The Underground Railroad was formed in the early 19th century, and reached its height between 1850 and One estimate suggests that by 1850, 100,000 slaves had escaped via the "Railroad". British North America, where slavery was prohibited, was a popular destination

The Underground Railroad had stations in Horsham, Upper Moreland, Montgomery and Abington in Montgomery County and Solesbury, Quakertown, Doylestown, Yardley, Newtown and Buckingham in Bucks In Our Own Backyard… Montgomery County was one of the strongest links in the Underground Railroad because of active anti-slavery groups like the Quakers. Johnson House - Germantown

Slaves seeking refuge along the route needed to know whether a house was safe. One of the most common signals of safety was the statue of a black jockey with a red cap. Conductors on the Underground Railroad would place U.S. flags or lighted lanterns in the statue's hands to signify that it was safe to enter. The absence of a flag or lantern meant slaves should wait or move on to the next depot. Green ribbons were also tied to the arms of the statue to indicate safety; red ribbons meant to keep going.

Stations hid slaves in various spots

Each pattern represented a different meaning. Some of the most common were “North Star”, which slaves followed to the North, “Wagon Wheel”, which meant it was time to pack their provisions for the journey, and “Crossroads”, which indicated there was a major city ahead. Quilts slung over a fence or windowsill, seemingly to air, passed on the necessary information to knowing slaves. Quilts hung out to air was a common sight on a plantation, neither the plantation owner nor the overseer would notice anything suspicious. It was all part of a day’s work for the slaves.
