The team had explained to the class about the changes that were going on to help end slavery at the hardest times in history. I did the understanding of the why underground railroad is a such huge key of leading to the end of slavery. It helped get more of the majority to join along in the abolition movement mostly.
I learned that there were so many conductors helping the slaves escape by using routes to get to the north. Harriet Tubman was mostly the leader of the operations and she did the most trips out of all the conductors during the operations of the underground railroad. Tubman wanted to make sure that slaves got their freedom which many of them did thanks to her.
I found it interesting that there are some other things on this topic too that was going on while they were presenting. It was cool to learn about the Kansas and Nebraska Act which caused Bleeding Kansas to happen from the results of Kansas becoming a slave state to help even out the amount of slave and nonslave states.
I remembered learning about Bleeding Kansas in high school so it’s kind of a review for me learning about this information all over again. It was interesting to see that people would go to vote in another state just so that they could have one state be a slave state for themselves. Their government would be a pro-slavery as well along with wanting to make sure there are slaves working on people’s properties for them.
