Nor was it a railroad. It was, however, an awe-inspiring piece of history, and one that speaks of hope even today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo hundred years ago, slavery had the Southern United States firmly in its evil grip. Around four million African Americans languished in the most appalling of living conditions, their lives controlled by people who saw them as objects. They were starved, whipped, and put to work despite being pregnant, sick, or so young that they could barely walk. They were despised, downtrodden, and degraded in every way. They longed for freedom, yet to reach the free land of Canada, they would have to cross thousands of miles filled with the threat of slave catchers, men who had made it their business to snatch desperate people who were on the very brink of liberty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was a hopeless time, but it was also a time of heroes. The only hope that these enslaved people had of escaping their brutal fates was the Underground Railroad. This fabled network of people and places delivered tens of thousands of escaped slaves all the way across the northern United States and into Canada. And while many of the people who made these escapes possible have melted away into history as faceless heroes, we know the names and stories of many. Their stories are some of the most inspiring that we will ever hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere are just some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlavery through the Ages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbolition around the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbolition in the United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Father of the Underground Railroad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Moses of Her People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore Heroes of the Underground Railroad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere are just some of the topics covered in part 2 of this book: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarriet's Vision Begins to Take Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarriet Makes a Break for Freedom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Forays on the Underground Railroad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Tubman Takes Charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarriet on the Front Lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith the Help of Her Family and Friends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing a Place for Harriet Tubman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo if you want to learn more about the Underground Railroad and Harriet Tubman, scroll up and click the \"add to cart\" button!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 13, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42708698693695,"sku":"9781637161340","price":32.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/eb0fc62dab3a730ee212f82f7c56fd6b.webp?v=1765048751","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/underground-railroad-a-captivating-guide-to-the-routes-places-and-people-that-helped-free-african-americans-during-the-nineteenth-century-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
