1810—A Journey to Freedom

(click to read excerpt)

 

In the beginning of President Madison’s first term, the Underground Railroad had yet to come into being.  The widespread abolitionist organizations, that were to struggle with righteous determination against slavery in later years, were in the most embryonic stages of their development. 

 

The fight for freedom  was begun by individuals and small, scattered groups who risked all to stand on their principles and work to bring down the institution of slavery, which was the serpent in the garden of liberty.  Ordinary people—farmers, merchants, tradesmen, congregations of Quakers and Methodists—broke an immoral law and risked imprisonment as well as public condemnation for doing what was touted as a sinful act in many pulpits across the South—helping slaves escape to freedom. 

 

It is a saga that begins in the aftermath of the founding of the Republic, when the seeds of civil war were sown that were to bear such bloody fruit in 50 years.
