What is the Underground Railroad?
PHILADELPHIA    1855
The Underground Railroad
was organized assistance to
fugitives from slavery to
free states and territories in
the U.S.  After the Fugitive
Slave Law of 1850, such
flight and assistance was
criminal.  The only safe
places were Canada and
Mexico, free from slavery
and prohibiting extradition.

The minister was an enslaved
blacksmith born in Maryland ca.
1794.  In freedom (after 1827) he
was an African Methodist
Episcopal minister, pastor to
slave workers at iron furnaces in
western Maryland.  This is a
primary source account of their
conditions, of an unknown
insurrection, and the attempt by
John Brown to find this elder
minister in 1859 because he was
a known Underground Railroad
operator.
