Josiah Henson traveled to Canada by escaping from slavery in the United States. In 1830, after a harrowing journey on foot and with the help of the Underground Railroad network, he made his way to safety in Canada. Henson settled in Ontario, where he became an influential figure in the anti-slavery movement and helped others find freedom as well. His experiences later inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe's character in "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
