About Me
- Mr Blais
- My days for extra help after school are Mondays and Wednesdays in room 208.
I ran away from maryland, followed Harriet Tubman, approached the mysterious white person's house, went across the icy lake to Canada, and became free at last!
ReplyDeleteSo I ran away I decided to follow H.Tubman, when I came across the house I didnt know what to do at first i was scared so i went the opposite way and heard things in the woods and seeing the fact that I'm a run away I didn't want to have to go back so i went to the house and surprisingly they let me in, because they help run away slaves.Then i came upon Canada and had to go across a very icy lake and then before i knew it i was freed at last.
ReplyDeletei started off by running away from Maryland, then i met up with Harriet Tubman when we got to the house i decided that i would knock on the door because i like to seek a little thrill. it ended up being a good person i stayed there and rested then i made my way on up to Canada where my girlfriend that nobody knows about lives. but before i went into Canada i had to cross an icy lake and after that i was free.
ReplyDeleteI began my journey by running away from Maryland, and following the guidance of Harriet Tubman. Soon enough I arrive in Delaware at a safehouse where I'm fed and housed. Then I go to Pennsylvania, where although slavery is not permitted, I'm still seen as property. This means I have to continue my journey to New York. There I'm housed & fed and prepared for the journey to Lake Erie on my way to freedom in Canada. In Canada I finally reach freedom.

ReplyDeleteI ran off to Maryland, and then deciced to make the choice of meeting up with Harriet tubman. I decided to take the risk of knocking on the door of a "white's" house in Deleware. At the safehouse I am fed and housed. I then continue my journey to pennsylvania where slavery is not permitted but black's are still considered as property. I still need to go on and continue my jorney to New York, there I get housed and fed once again. I then begin my journey to Lake Erie on the way to Canada to my freedom.
ReplyDeleteI fallowed Harriet Tubmin to Canada. We jumped ice chunks and crossed rivers. We were fallowed on hot persuit to a white couples house. Running away we went to New York and finally, we reached Canada.
ReplyDeletei wanted to leaved but feared my punishment if i got caught, but i decided to leave anyway, I followd the north star like H. Tubman said to and met up with her later, she showed me a "safe house" but i wasn't sure if i should go in and trust the white people, but the bounty hunters were close so i quickly went in and was treated with food and a warm place to stay. From the safe house i went to wilmington, delaware where Tomas Garrett helped me get through to rochester NY, it was a hard and depressing journey through the appalation mt. I met with F. Douglas and S.B. Anthony and they gave me warm clothes and made sure that i was safely transported to lake erie, the lake started to freeze over for winter so i either had to hop across the ice or see if someone would row me over, i tryed and sucessfuly made it across to canada where my freedom was but now i have to find employment and a place to stay!
ReplyDeletei first started in the fields, being a slave, which i didn't want to be. I heard my slaves friends talking, talking about escaping and finding freedom. I, myself, decided to go along with them, so i started off by following Harrit Tubman. From there it get sketcher and sketcher, but i stayed, we would snap twigs and it would scare me, every noise i made or we made, would make me thing, this is when were going to get caught. I talked to General Tubman, and went to Deleware with him. We found a light hanging on a door, i went in. That was probably one of the most smartet choices i have ever made. I had a nice warm welcome and some hot food. But, while i was sleeping, i heard dogs barking in the far, far, like the length freedom is away from me. I'm now in Wilimington, Deleware. I met Thomas Garrett there, he told me to see larger cities to go in Canada, so i considered it. A friend of Tubman's told us that they worked the underground railroad for almost 40 years, but a few years ago he was arrested, but he still doesn't care. From there i went to Phildelphia, New York,(250 miles), now going to Lake Erie. I get there and its already starting to freeze, i could hop across or get rowed, either way, i'm going to be freezing, so i choose to hop across. I'm sure glad i did, cause i made it! I'm free at last!
ReplyDeleteI ran away from maryland and I went with Harriet tubman in the underground railroad and traveled for miles before we came to a cabin that i spent the night in rather than staying out in the cold. ASfter that I traveled fron Philidalphia, to New York, then i Crossed lake Erie and made it to CANADA!!! now a free slave in Canada.
ReplyDeleteI ran away and crossed the Choptank River and went to Delaware. I went into a safehouse after crossing the river. Then I went to Wilmington. I stayed with Thomas Garrett. Then I went on to Philadelphia, and went to Rochester after that and meet with Susan B. Anthony. Then I went across Lake Erie to Canada. I was then free.
ReplyDeleteYeah, ran away with everyone else. Stopped in New York. Went to Lake Erie and jumped some ice chunks. Yeah some serious fun.
ReplyDeleteI followed Harriet Tubman to Camden Delaware then took a chace going into the house
ReplyDeleteWhich ended up being safe and then started out to Wilmington Delaware and from there Philadelphia Penn then followed William Still to NY, then lake Erie, and then took a chance crossing the lake, and found freedom.
