By : Ann Heinrichs
Number of pages :  41
  
Summary: It wasn't the a real road so it didn’t have tricks or cars or train. It just was a journey for thousand of people looking for freedom. It was a secret network of people who  operated in the dark night to escape from slavery in the Southern state. The leader for the escape are called conductors who offered the safe ways, food,clothe and station houses.It was dangers work who ever caught could be bitten by dogs or faced time in jail. there are two way slaves took from the Southern states. By land or sea. This story began between 1830 and 1860 but the slaves in US began from the colonists time in 1500s. Southern state of US used to use slaves to plant the farm and product the crops.The Underground Railroad finished by President Abraham Lincoln after the Civil War in Jan 1,1863.

Reaction: It was very hard to listen for this kind of historical action or to imagine how the world was. We have some black point in our history we have to study it and take lessen from and avoid our mistake. Slaves was a bad memory for any one to think in but it  harder for slaves.There are a lot of strange story told us about the way slavers used to escape and what happened for them while they was escaping.

  1. I agree you opionion which is Slaves was a bad memory for anyone because is not fair for the people who are slaves. No people should be slaves.Everyone work should get pay. Abraham Lincoln is such a great person. He think all the people should be fair and help the people who need to help.

  2. Is a journey looking for freedom? It sounds good. If I will have a chance, I would like to do that.
    Also, the story tells us a slavery want to escape in order to find freedom. I think that it is very important for them to seek freedom, and I am interested in the story because it focuses on the slavery and colonist in order to understand a history in the United States. Thus, I would like to read this book for winter break.
