The Underground Railroad experienced a significant surge of travelers during the 1850s, particularly after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850. This law heightened the dangers for escaped slaves and increased the urgency for them to seek safe passage to free states or Canada. The heightened activity was also influenced by rising abolitionist sentiments and the increasing number of people willing to assist in the escape of enslaved individuals.

What is difference between surge absorber and surge suppressor?

There is likely no difference. Neither is accepted terminology for a surge suppressive device (SPD). If these products have been tested by safety organizations such as CSA (Canada) or UL (US) or tested to international surge standards (IEEE, IEC), then they should bare the correct terminology, otherwise, they are not tested to provide protection to equipment during a surge. Surge Absorber acts as a load that utilizes the high current until it exhausts. but the surge suppressor diverts the high current into ground without reaching the sensitive parts of the circuit. Surge absorber degrades faster than a surge suppressor.
