I am guessing you are talking of the organized aid to people in slavery in the USA.\n\nThe National Park Service has details at http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/underground/\n\nUC Davis, University of California has a similar site at http://education.ucdavis.edu/NEW/STC/lesson/socstud/railroad/contents.htm.\n\nAnother useful site :\n\nhttp://collections.ic.gc.ca/underground/flightall.html.\n\nThe National Geographic has an interactive feature on it at http://www.nationalgeographic.com/railroad/j2.html

fd was effective as a writer and speaker for the cause of abolition because:\n*he was a former slave and knew first hand the horors of the institution of slavery\n*he exposed the reality of slavery that th majority of americans were unaware of: beatings, selling of family members, rape, etc.\n\nd believed that reconstruction failed because the south, even though the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were passed, refused to accept the end to slavery.

There is no book.  It's a purported speech from a slave owner named Willie Lynch, on how to ensure your slaves stay enslaved.  It is of dubious authenticity.  The source I mention deconstructs this speech.

I think you are talking about the Divine Word Seminary that closed in 1965. \n\nIt was part of the Society of the Divine Word: http://www2.dwci.edu/vocations/aboutus/index.html\n\nI cannot find very much other information about the old seminary.\n\nWith love in Christ.

Former slaves, who were only thought as property and less than human, now were counted as part of the population. And even though many went North after the end of the Civil War, most stayed in the place where they knew. So if there was a plantation, which had over a hundred slaves that were not counted as part of the population before, now were considered part of it. And as you know the House of Representatives gives as many seats out for each state depending on how many people live in the state and not on how big the state is. And more representatives meant more political power in Washington, DC. Don't forget also, that the Southern states after the Civil War were not governed by Southerners, Northerners were put in charge and Reconstruction took place (which was both positive and negitive).
