Abolition
Those who profess to favor
freedom and yet criticize
agitation, are people who want
crops without plowing; they
want rain without thunder and
lightning; they want the ocean
without the roar of its waves.
The struggle may be a moral
one, or it may be a physical one,
or it may be both. But it must be
a struggle.
Power concedes nothing without
a demand; it never has and it
never will.

Freedom Trails
Brave abolitionists helped slaves escape to
freedom along the Underground Railroad
Neither underground nor a railroad, it was a
series of aboveground escape routes from
the South up to the free North
Runaway slaves traveled on foot
in wagons, boats and trains.
Traveled by night and hid by
day in places called stations.
Harriet Tubman
Most famous
conductor of the

the South to free
300+ slaves,
including her
entire family
