Investigator Ch 7-9
I wanted to look into the undergroun
d railroad that Emma, Joe, and Charles were planning to take to get to Ohio and see if there was really a route that would take them from Kentucky to freedom. I found this map that shows the routes of the Underground Railroad, and it looks like there was a perfect route from Kentucky to Cincinnati. I think this map is really cool because I can visualize how far some slaves had to travel to get to the "free" north, and how difficult their journeys must have been. The website I got this image from is www.slaveryinamerica.org.
