Draft The hope of slavery escape in the south influenced __Harriet Tumban__ to make the Underground Railroad. If she hadn't created the Underground Railroad in 1849, than more than 300 slaves wouldn't had escaped. Slavery escape in the south was very hard to come by. Many slaves died from trying to run away from the cruel plantations. Then the Underground Railroad was created to help all the slaves escape to the north where they could be treated equall.'

The Underground consisted of safe houses with hiding places, run by abolitionists and sympathisers, and workd up to the time of the Civil war. Slave escaped nightly by the Underground. If slaves couldn't escape through the Underground or got caught in the act of trying to escape, they would usaualy start a riot or a rebellion to fight for their freedom. One of the most famous rebellions is __Shays rebellion__ in 1786. Slaves usually escaped at the darkest of the night when the had the least chance of being seen or waking the master. Once slaves made it off the plantations they had a hard time getting to the north because most the time it was a very far journey to the north. Many times slaves died on the journey because of the lack of food. It was very hard for slaves to escape!

The Underground Railroad was in 1849 by a former slave named Harriett Tumban. She was born into slavery in 1820 and was beaten daily. She escped from her plantation in Maryland and made it the Phili. She later went on to create the Underground Railroad, which helped over 300 slaves escape to the North. The Underground Railroad ended when Harriet Tumban got asked to be a spy for the Union in the civil war, which was in 1861. After the war she went on to care for her aging parents. She went on to die on March 10, 1913.

Slaves tried to escpae daily. When ever it was possible, slaves tried to liberate themselves by running away. I thhink that quote shows how people and slaves thought about slavery. Slavery was unfair and that is why slaves tries to run away from it. Why couln't they have a normal life and the same opportunities as white americans. Many slaves in the south did escape or atleast made an attempt to. If they got caught trying to run away from one of the most unfair actions ever, they got whipped and beaten for it. Some times they were even killed. If slaves wouldnt of tried to escape then they would have lost hope in having what they wanted. I think that it was the right thing to do, to revolt and to run away from cruel treatment of the plantations and their owners.

Slavery escape in the South was hard to do. They had jobs specificly for people to find runaway slaves and return them to their master. If Harriet hadn't of made the Undergroud Railroad then slaves wouldn't have escaped. I think they would of tried but they didn't have the smarts like Harriet. She lead more then 300 slaves to Canada secretly. And then went on to become a spy for the Union. She lived a great life and helped many people. Slaves had a right to a fair life just like the rest of Americans, if they would have been treated fairly in the begining none of this would of happend. Slavery is cruel, and it should never be used again!!!
