' 1'he "Undergrollnd Railroad"

in aiding sla\'es to gain their
freedom from their master's lash ,
by helping them in their eITorts

Huencc of the momentous questions -
tions which stirred the hearts of
the peoplc and shook the vcr ) '
foundations of society from
center to circumfercnce .10 to 50
years ago.
In order to find thc conditions
that brought about the necessity
for the said railroad wc musl
look as far back at lest as the
abolition of the African slave
tradc in 1808. 'rhe effect of thh
abolition soon became apparenl
in the fact that slaves could be
raised in thc morc northern state !
and sold for a gredt proJit furthcI
south where thc cotton crop be ,
came more abundant and muc1
morc profitablc , yet that objec
was not fully realized until I J
thc genius of a northern man
Eli Whitney , the cotton gil
was constructed , a contrivanci
where b ) ' the cotton seed could bl
taken from the pods so rapidl
that cotton growing becamc :
wondcrful iudustry , which requir
ed thousands of hands to pic1
where only a few hnndred werl
employed bcfore. Up to thi :
time there werc a fcw slaves il

it cannot be said that thes
states werc free from the fOtl

ers were so humane that the'
abolished the institution 011 th

Whilc thcre were men who di ,
so for conscicnce sake , the majol

the sin of slaver ) ' was not alwa ) '
confined to the south , and t11
dire consequences fell upon bet

wa ) ' ' een a slave state and is
north of that line. lletwecn the
free statcs of Ohio , Indiana and
III. , and the sla\'c stutes of what
is now 'Vcst Virginia and Ken-
tuc1ey , the linc was thcn the
, Ohio river. It will be seen by a
glance at the map that the great
obstacle to the escape of the
fugitive slave was the Ohio river
and as a result if there was to be
an underground 'Irailroad" es.
tablishecl it must be north of the
ri\'er , so in the states of Ohio ,
Ind. and Ill. such a road with all
of its branches was built. Now
just a word about this road. It
has been thought by somc that
there was an actual tunnel in the
ground through which the slaves
were passed to the land of the
free , this is howevcr an error.
The road was in one sense an
imaginary road. But in anothcr
and broader sense a very practical -
cal concern. 'rhc road was made
up of men and women who them-
sel\'es had witncssed the suITcr-
ing of the sla\'es and who werc
I willing to g'e their lives and
fortunes , if nced bc , that some at
least of God's sutfering peoplc
. might havc the chance to enjoy
their God given right to breath
the air of freedom.
'l'hese noble souls dared t ( ]
break the man ( ur rather dcdl )
made laws and furnish the means
whercby the down troddcn race
might be free. Let it b under-
r stood that in no state of the
- union .could a colored man live if
1 hc was an escaped slavc , and b < ;
safe from the clutches of his C'1 < 1
master and the teeth of his blood
, hounds , because the laws of the
1 free states through which the
e slave must pass to reach Canad:1
e ( which being under British do.
minion had long before dcclared
1 that any fugitivc reaching the
- Quecns domain was fore\'er frcc , j
was of such a nature that an )
e citizen of those free states of the
union who would harbor , fced 01
even give a drink of water to
fugitiye was subject to fine ani
imprison men t ,
It has been said that thesc law
would disgrace the stat.utc book
of hcll. 'l'hink dear reader how
wonld you feel if you should see
a man or woman flecing from the
crnel scourging of the slave hold ,
er and he or shc should trembl
