Individual is spelled wrong.\n\nokay as for the intro:\n\n"I had crossed the line. I was free, but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom.  I was a stranger in a strange land."  That quote is from Harriet Tubman, a great lady who was well respected by many. She made it her life's work to be sure others like her, run away slaves, would find someone to welcome them on their journey to freedom.  Harriet Tubman began a secret movement that has come to be known as "The Underground Railroad".\n\nFrom there you can get into what a slave's life was like and how difficult it was to disobey and seek freedom with angry owners and dogs on your trail, knowing death could very well be the price you pay if caught.

U.S. "legalized" slavery may have ended in 1861, but please do not let us fool ourselves -- slavery, in many forms, still exists today . . . and I'm not talking "slave to my job" kind either.    :-(

Excellent points!  We're always being told that our ancestors enslaved them, but we're never told that our ancestors also fought and died to free them.  It's been 140 years since there was slavery.  There are so many programs to help black people, at the expense of white people.  Its about time black people quit looking for excuses and try to make it like I know they can.  And don't start calling me prejudice cause I aint!

Harriet Tubman (born 1820 or 1822 in Dorchester County, Maryland, died March 10, 1913 in Auburn, New York), also known as Black Moses, Grandma Moses, or Moses of Her People, was an African-American freedom fighter. An escaped slave, she worked as a lumberjack, laundress, nurse, and cook. As an abolitionist, she acted as intelligence gatherer, refugee organizer, raid leader, nurse, and fundraiser, all as part of the struggle for liberation from slavery and racism.\n\nFearing sale into the Deep South, Tubman took her emancipation into her own hands. Sometime in the fall of 1849 she escaped northward, leaving behind her free husband who did not want to follow. On her way she was assisted by sympathetic Quakers and other members of the Abolitionist movement, both black and white, who were instrumental in maintaining the Underground Railroad. She was called "Moses" by those she helped escape on the Underground Railroad. She made many trips to Maryland to help other slaves escape. According to her own estimates and those of her close associates, Tubman personally guided around 70 slaves to freedom in about 13 expeditions. She was never captured and, in her own words, "never lost a passenger."

It's about the Underground Railroad and Harriet Tubman, and the various safe houses that the slaves could stay at overnight. It's also about how the slaves were treated by their "owners"

C.  A very small percentage of Southerners owned slaves (2-3%).  Most men who  fought for the South left behind women and children to tend to crops and livestock alone.

Are you kidding? Republicans did not free the slaves. Check your history... And I know Lincoln was a Republican, but he did not free the slaves. Read a book.

Jesus died for my sins.  It was a long time ago, but it affects me NOW.  I have been saved because of what he did.  I don't say anything about slavery, it doesn't matter any more.  Blacks have been freed, free for a VERY long time, and it doesn't make a difference.  Its not comparable to my religion.  Jesus saved my soul.  I will dwell on it, its the most important thing in my life.

See, I am in Third Grade and I love writing about the history of people that have helped me and my family see my dad was born into slavery and he also escaped to the North with Harriet Tubman. Sorry to get off track but here is a part of my report from my studies I learned that Harriet Tubman first escaped to the north by her self then she realized that if she only helped herself she would be selfish and so she made nineteen trips to the south and helped over three hundred people escape from slavery. Again sorry for getting off track but she was against slavery because she said that we should not be judged by the color of our skin and that it is very unfair for white people to own black people.My dad got some slave laws and here they are. \n\n                          Slave Laws\n1. No one was allowed to teach slaves how to read or write nor were they to be given books or pamphlets.\n\n2.

I don't know any good ones specifically but Wikkipedia would be good. Some slaves were allowed to go to church long as there was a sheriff outside the window, making sure the pastor didn't talk abuot freedom or something. Hope this helps! Good luck on your paper.
