Many fugitive slaves were helped across the Ohio River by abolitionists and members of the Underground Railroad, a network that provided safe passage to freedom. One notable figure was John Parker, an African American former slave who became an active conductor on the Underground Railroad. He used his own home in Ripley, Ohio, as a safe haven and guided many escaping slaves across the river into free territories.
