The Underground Railroad, a secret network of abolitionists, free black individuals, and sympathetic white individuals, helped slaves escape to freedom in the United States. While not a religious group in itself, many members of the Underground Railroad were inspired by their Christian beliefs to assist in freeing slaves and upholding the principle of human equality.
The Pilgrims left their homes in Europe to escape religious persecution. They were seeking religious freedom and the opportunity to practice their faith without interference from the government or religious authorities.
Many people helped runaway slaves because they believed in the abolition of slavery and wanted to support those seeking freedom. Some were motivated by religious or moral convictions, while others were committed to the principles of equality and human rights. Additionally, some individuals assisted runaway slaves as part of the Underground Railroad network, a secret network that helped slaves escape to free states or Canada.
The Quakers helped to lead the fight to end slavery. They were the first religious group to question the morality of slavery. They were instrumental in the successful operation of the 'Underground Railroad" that helped slaves escape to the northern state and then to Canada. You can read more about this interesting and egalitarian group at the related link.
The Mennonites were the first religious group to openly oppose slavery. Owning slaves was completely forbidden in this Christian community.
My suggestion is to have a group of people to talk with first..once you have one, you should talk about how she helped 300 slaves escape to the north...you could also read a couple books about her as a group..I hope this helps
