When Tubman joins the Underground Railroad, she commenced to guide other slaves in Maryland to escape to Canada.
The decision to escape meant the risk of death but an opportunity to freedom. The enslaved frequently experienced fear, keeping themselves in plantations.
I'm determined to escape!
Punishments for escaped slaves included being whipped, raped, and murdered. Individuals who guided the fugitives were charged and punished as well.
Terminology like "stations, depots, and safe houses" were used during this secretive operation to freedom. These hiding places were frequently private homes, churches or underground shelters.
This is uncomfortable!
Songs, chants and gestures were creative symbols conductors used to convey messages to the fugitive hiding in nearby locations.
Chants of danger!
When in safety, conductors guided the slaves to the Underground Railroad. The secret routes extended to 14 Northern states and Canada. Canada was the primary destination for the slaves.
