Margaret Ward's Route on the Underground Railroad ( Orange points)

The journey described is consistent with the narratives of Margaret Ward, Samuel Green, Fredrick Douglas, and Harriet Tubman. The folks who were able to flee slavery endured a difficult voyage but were resilient enough to face the opposition. Although life was undoubtedly far more difficult than what was described, the reading was able to provide some insight. Because there was a danger of being caught and killed, each person had to muster the bravery to escape.

Additionally astonishing about Harriet as a woman is indeed the fortitude as well as bravery she would have to maintain for ensure that no-one was left behind. Tragically, Harriet was unable to reunite with her husband since he married someone else while she was away. Margaret had trained as a nurse and she ran away in Frederick Douglas discovered that merely existing in a free state did not eventually grant one's freedom in order to save her child's life. As anticipated, Samuel Green Jr. traveled back to Canada. Frederick Douglas discovered that merely existing in a free state did not eventually grant one's freedom. Lastly but not least, individuals also made it abundantly apparent via there own actions that they had devoted about escaping such dreadful situations.
