Underground Railroad

... the Underground Railroad.
Much of what is known about the Underground Railroad lacks corroboration in written documentation because it was illegal to teach slaves to read and write, and those who helped them destroyed journals and written records for fear of being found out. ... The most assiduous organizers of routes to freedom were in fact black freeman (who were often black abolitionists) particularly in the period from 1850-1860 when the Underground Railroad was most active (Blockson 3-4). The major part in helping fugitives escape to freedom played by free blacks both from the North and the South and by slaves themselves on plantations along the way has been underestimated in nearly all early accounts of the railroad.
