I am doing a research on the Underground Railroad in the American Civil War. I am going to talk about Harriet Tubman saving slaves, conductors hiding slaves in their homes, and secret codes used by conductors. Sick slaves, and what was a good time to escape to freedom in the North.

She believed that she could change the world because she knew what the slaves were going through. and she risked her life. She stopped helping the slaves after Lincoln gave the Emancipation Proclamation. She did not save everyone because of the Emancipation Proclamation. In 1851, she relocated her family.

They probably weren’t sick long because Harriet Tubman took care of them. The bosses probably made the slaves work, even though they were sick. The bosses did not kill them. Slaves probably didn’t fake being sick because some slaves really did get sick.

The conductors did knock on windows and doors. They talk like “I have sent, at two clock, four large and two small hams.” They did not stomp their feet. They did not slam a door.

The slaves did escape on weekends, but only on Saturday because it was bosses day off. They did not escape on weekdays. Some did escape in the winter because rivers were frozen and bosses were at parties. They didn’t escape when it was raining.

In conclusion, Harriet Tubman did save tons of slaves! Conductors used secret codes like closing doors and saying phrases. There was some sick slaves, but they got better. On weekends were good times to escape to freedom in the North. And at Christmas was a good time escape because bosses were at parties! So that was some of the history of the Underground Railroad during the American Civil War. By : Ashley Scott
