3. Focus Questions How old was Harriet Tubman when she lead the people to Canada? How long did the underground railroad last? How many people did Harriet take at a time? Do you think that if Tubman did not save those people do you think we will still have slaves? How many times did she go through the Underground Railroad? How old was Harriet when she started taking the slaves through the Underground Railroad? Was the Underground Railroad really underground?

4. Some facts I found that were interesting What I found that was interesting is that the South lost 100,000 slaves between 1810 and 1850. Also the fugitives would not only travel by train but they also traveled by a boat. Harriet Tubman had been leading the slaves for about 10 years. they demanded that if a slave was sighted, he or she should be turned in to the authorities for deportation back to the "rightful" owner down south. There wahttp://www.factsmonk.com/facts_about_the_underground_railroads a lot of people who helped out, one of them was a slave owner, his name was John Fairfield he lived in Ohio. Levi Coffin, a Quaker who assisted more than 3,000 slaves. Harriet made nineteen trips when she was talking the people through the trail. Most dramatic action of slavery in the U.S. 70000 slaves escaped into Canada safely. The Underground Railroad was not underground it behind houses it was a network were they hid and slept. There were some people who helped out on the UGRR and they were not slaves. It was also a trail for the black slaves to escaped when they got a chance so that they are not forced to work on the farms. They went though 13 northern states and Canada Stations were about 20 miles apart Harriet made 19 trips without anyone knowing People offered $40,000 if they got her and took her in About 500 to 1000 people died on the UGRR

5. Did You Know…… That Harriet was Born in 1820, Dorchester County, Maryland Died: March 10, 1913, Auburn, New York She took eleven slaves at a time during the Underground Railroad The Underground Railroad was not underground? She took her and the slaves in the back of the houses and that’s where they slept and ate when people were looking for them.
