Slaves escaping the South through the Underground Railroad

Made By Abby,Jeannine,Kaityne and Sam

Before 1860 there were about four million slaves in America! They traveled on the most famous “road” of the day-The Underground Railroad. We have recently learned about a interesting subject, and today we would like to teach you about it. You will learn about : dangers, Harriet Tubman, life as a slave, and much more!

Leaders A man dressed in fine clothes leads slaves through the Underground Railroad. If they were caught by a white man, he would say “I am bringing my slaves to a new plantation.”

Directions The slaves followed the stars and hoped that they will accomplish their journey of being free, without being caught.

A Famous Person Have you ever heard of Harriet Tubman? She was a conductor that lead slaves to their freedom. Harriet Tubman (far left) with slaves she freed

Life as a Slave To be a slave meant that you had nothing you could call your own-not even your name or yourself. One slave was beat because he called his owner Mister instead of Master. Another was whipped because he had looked at a slave the master had beaten to death,and cried.

What are the dangers you could face? Dangers you could face were wild animals, and the biggest danger was to be…caught! Watch Out!
