“The Promised Land”
America might be the most powerful nation in the entire world, but it had a dark history before it reached its current status. Without the “Underground Railroad” and other revolutionary methods, it would not be the place it is today. The network actually freed more than 100,000 individuals from slavery. It is generally believed that a third of these people ended up going to Canada or “British North America,” as it was formerly called. In the Underground Railway glossary, it was known by the monikers “Heaven”, “The Promised Land”, and “Gospel Train.”

Not Much Left Behind
There was not a lot of things inside the room. However, this did not come as a surprise to most people as slaves themselves were considered property. The owner of the house did not decorate or lighten up the place as they were scared that they would get discovered. Perhaps the only thing that looked rather out of place in the house was the rusty bayonet hanging on the wall. No one understood what it was doing there.
