Canada was then part of the British Empire. Great Britain officially banned slavery in the Empire in 1833. A slave reaching Canada was a free person. On the other hand, a slave found in any part of the United States or its territories had to be returned because of very strict fugitive slave laws.
Canada was a safe place for runaway slaves because it was only the USA that had slaves. Because the USA had no jurisdiction in Canada, the slaves ran to Canada so that the USA could not find them and bring them back to their masters.
Because under the new Fugitive Slave Act, Northerners were under pressure to report anyone who looked like a runaway.
She had no choice.
no. the underground railroad was a secret (underground) chain of people who would help slaves reach freedom. the "railroad" part of the underground railroad was simply a way to refer to the chain of people that runaway slaves would stay with.
lets see umm anywhere just simply go to the google site and type in underground railroad pictures its that easy
To escape to Canada. They couldn't simply travel through the north because of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Part of the Compromise of 1850, the act said that Northerners were obliged to turn in runaway slaves to their southern owners. Fugitive means runaway. The abolitionists ran the underground railroad to help the slaves secretly (hence the term underground) escape to freedom.
The Underground Railroad was a series of free blacks and Northerners who were against slavery that would guide slaves up to the North to Freedom. It wasn't an actual railroad, but at times it went underground to hide slaves. It was coined "Underground Railroad" so slave masters wouldn't know what it really was, and it was almost like a railroad. The main people who came directly to the slaves and guided them along the "Railroad" were coined "conductors". One very famous conductor is Harriet Tubman, also nicknamed "Black Moses".
Well The answer is simply Chocolate Fudge Sundae...Yummmm! LOL

The Underground railroad was indeed a success. Founded and operated by Harriet Tubman, slaves escaping to the North were given aid and shelter en route to Canada where slavery was illegal. Tubman herself had been a slave but escaped. She and other abolitionists helped the slaves get free passage north to Canada. Help was also given by people who were not dedicated abolitionists, but simply saw the need for change and hope.

Simply go inside then go downstairs.
Slaves had to go as far as Canada to be free since the United States Government had no jurisdiction in that area. If a slave simply went to a northern state, he/she could be hunted down as a fugitive slave with a bounty on their head.
The people of the Northern Territory, Australia are simply known as Territorians.
It is simply stating that technology controls people.
Yes. Paramount Canada's Wonderland was renamed, and now it is simply 'Canada's Wonderland'.
A variety of factors affect population densities. Two possible reasons for Canada's sparse population density may be that it is simply a large country, and that many regions experience extreme physical conditions.
They are usually underground simply to keep them out of sight. However I have been to some stations (usually in rural areas) where the tanks are above ground.
