Because escaping slaves and the people who helped them were technically breaking the law, they had to stay out of sight. They

27、 went “underground” in terms of concealing their actions. Sometimes they even hid in unusual places. Many clever and creative ideas helped slaves during their escape.

41、 Josiah Henson reached his destination and became free at last. A gentle breeze swept the Canadian plains as I stepped outside the small two-story house. Alongside me was a slender woman in a black dress, my guide back to a time when the surrounding settlement in Dresden, Ontario, was home to a hero

42、 in American history. As we walked toward a plain gray church, Barbara Carter spokeproudly of her great-great-grandfather, Josiah Henson. “He was confident that the Creator intended all men to be created equal. And he never gave up struggling for that freedom.” D R _ Text 1THE FREEDOM GIVERSFergus M

43、. Bordewich Carters devotion to her ancestor is about more than personal pride: it is about family honor. For Josiah Henson has lived on through the character in American fiction that he helped inspire: Uncle Tom, the long-suffering slave in Harriet Beecher Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin. Ironically, that

44、character has come to symbolize everything Henson was not. A racial sellout unwilling to stand up for himself? Carter gets angry at the thought. “Josiah Henson was a man of principle,” she said firmly.D R _ Text 2 I had traveled here to Hensons last home now a historic site that Carter formerly dire

45、cted to learn more about a man who was, in many ways, an African-American Moses. After winning his own freedom from slavery, Henson secretly helped hundreds of other slaves to escape north to Canada and liberty. Many settled here in Dresden with him. Yet this stop was only part of a much larger miss

46、ion for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Ra

47、ilroad to freedom.D R _ Text 3D R _ Text 4 In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And its about time. For the he

48、roes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories. D R _ Text 5 John Parker tensed when he heard the soft knock. Peering out his door into the night, he recognized the face of a trusted neighbor. “Theres a party

49、of escaped slaves hiding in the woodsin Kentucky, twenty miles from the river,” the man whispered urgently. Parker didnt hesitate. “Ill go,” he said, pushing a pair of pistols into his pockets. Born a slave two decades before, in the 1820s, Parker had been taken from his mother at age eight and forc

50、ed to walk in chains from Virginia to Alabama, where he was sold on the slave market. Determined to live free someday, he managed to get trained in iron molding. Eventually he saved enough money working at this trade on the side to buy his freedom. Now, by day, Parker worked in an iron foundry in th

51、e Ohio port of Ripley. By night he was a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad, helping people slip by the slave hunters. In Kentucky, where he was now headed, there was a $1000 reward for his capture, dead or alive. D R _ Text 6 Crossing the Ohio River on that chilly night, Parker found ten fugit

52、ives frozen with fear. “Get your bundles and follow me,” he told them, leading the eight men and two women toward the river. They had almost reached shoreD R _ Text 7 Parker saw a small boat and, with a shout, pushed the escaping slaves into it. There was room for all but two. As the boat slid acros

53、s the river, Parker watched helplessly as the pursuers closed in around the men he was forced to leave behind. shore when a watchman spotted them and raced off to spread the news. The others made it to the Ohio shore, where Parker hurriedly arranged for a wagon to take them to the next “station” on

54、the Underground Railroad the first leg of their journey to safety in Canada. Over the course of his life, John Parker guided more than 400 slaves to safety. While black conductors were often motivated by their own painful experiences, whites were commonly driven by religious convictions. Levi Coffin

55、, a Quaker raised in North Carolina, explained, “The Bible, in bidding us to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, said nothing about color.”D R _ Text 8D R _ Text 9 In the 1820s Coffin moved west to Newport (now Fountain City), Indiana, where he opened a store. Word spread that fleeing slaves could

56、 always find refuge at the Coffin home. At times he sheltered as many as 17 fugitives at once, and he kept a team and wagon ready to convey them on the next leg of their journey. Eventually three principal routes converged at the Coffin house, which came to be the Grand Central Terminal of the Under

57、ground Railroad.D R _ Text 10 For his efforts, Coffin received frequent death threats and warnings that his store and home would be burned. Nearly every conductor faced similar risks or worse. In the North, a magistrate might have imposed a fine or a brief jail sentence for aiding those escaping. In

58、 the Southern states, whites were sentenced to months or even years in jail. One courageous Methodist minister, Calvin Fairbank, was imprisoned for more than 17 years in Kentucky, where he kept a log of his beatings: 35,105 stripes with the whip. As for the slaves, escape meant a journey of hundreds

59、 of miles through unknown country, where they were usually easy to recognize. With no road signs and few maps, they had to put their trust in directions passed by word of mouth and in secret signs nails driven into trees, for example that conductors used to mark the route north. Many slaves traveled

60、 under cover of night, their faces sometimes caked with white powder. Quakers often dressed their “passengers,” both male and female, in gray dresses, deep bonnets andand full veils. On one occasion, Levi Coffin was transporting so many runaway slaves that he disguised them as a funeral procession.D
