UNDERGROUND RAILROAD:
You are a member of the Underground Railroad. A small group of runaway slaves has come to your home to be hidden. All goes well until a neighbor who is not sympathetic to the cause becomes suspicious. What do you do?
If a neighbor who is not sympathetic to the cause becomes suspicious the first step that I will do is before oppening the door make sure that all the runaway slaves are in a special safe place were no one could find them.The second step that I would do is act normal and relax like I am not hidden something for no one but at the same time make sure that person dosen't search my house around were the slaves are situated.
If you were a slave who was planning to runaway, what kind of plans would you make? How would you know when the time was right to leave?If I were a slave who was planing to runaway the kind of plans that I would make is come through my mind is the "Undergroung railroad" since that was the word and the truth that all slaves believed. The second plan is follow the instructions of those who guided the runing aways along the highly secret system of the underground railroad which call themselves "conductors". I would know when the time was right to leave at night spreading on the wind down to the riverbank resting without fear covering my selflike a blanket as I skept meaning that nobody could buy or sell me. The river might be covered in fog and hidden deep in the mist on the shore, a running away could clearly hear the bell that I could follow its ringing all the way over and to a safe house.
