Underground Railroad By: Shane Owens

Conductors A conductor is a person who helped out on the underground railroad and lead slaves to freedom. Harriet Tubman was one of the great conductors Everyone trusted her since she escaped so many times.

How Harriet Tubman got involved Harriet Tubman got involved because she was a conductor, she was showing people the way to freedom also she wanted people to feel like she felt when she became free.

Consequences If the slaves were caught the were sold or beaten with a whip or some time they were lynched. Slaves were even sold with a whole family children and parents.

A sack of potatoes Meant escaping Slaves hidden Under the farm Produce in a wagon. “The dead trees will show You the way” meant that moss Grows on the NORTH side of dead Trees in case stars aren’t visible to Guide the slaves.

Routes on the underground railroad The underground railroad wasn’t really a railroad. It was a maze of pathways used by black slaves to get to freedom which were house to help them escape. The name came from the way the runaway slaves seemed to disappear “underground” when they were being chased by slave catchers, or slave owners.

“Famous Quote” “Harriet Tubman had other plans as she later wrote there was one of the two things I had a right to,liberty or death if I could not have one,I would have the other for no man should take me alive,I should fight for my liberty as long as my strength last.” By:Harriet Tubman

Primary Source We saw the lighting and that was the guns; And then we heard the thunder and that was The big guns;and then we heard the rain falling ;and that was the blood falling ;and when we Came to get the crops,it was dead men that We reaped.
