Introduction
The Underground Railroad
It is spring 1850. You and your family were born into slavery in the state of Alabama. Your master beats you often, forces you to work long hours in the field picking cotton without getting paid, takes your mother and sister when he wants to, and rumor has it that he intends to sell your brother.The word in the field is that "Moses" is coming. You have decided that you and your family should attempt to escape to freedom with or without "Moses". You know that this is a dangerous thing but you really feel that it is worth it to be free. There are many questions to be answered...what steps do you need to take to secure your freedom? What do you do in advance? When can you leave? What do you need to know to complete your journey? What signs do you look for to know you are safe during your journey?
