According to a recent study by the National Park Service, "...Uiis informal system arose as a loosely constructed network of escape routes Uiat originated in the South, intertwined throughout the North, but also extended into western territories, Mexico, and the Caribbean." * your papers How many people escaped on the Underground Railroad? « history links It is estimated that as many as 100,000 ofUie 4 million enslaved escaped Uirough the Underground Railroad. * local stories Did people use quilts to help slaves escape? * family stories This topic has really taken off since the 1999 publication of Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story ofQuilts and the Underground Railroad, written by Jacqueline Tobin and Raymond Dobard (Doublcday, NY, NY). The bibliography in Uiat book is a good starting place for your research We should also warn you, however, that the book has been greeted with a certain amount of skepticism in the scholarly community.

If you know the names of Uie operators of the station, Uiat is wonderful because you can then start a search in Uie newspapers to corroborate your family's memories. Another good source is the church records from Uie denomination where your ancestors worshiped — often abolitionists were fervent churchgoers. We also cncougage you to contact other researchers doing work in your part of the state. If you ever get to Washington, DC, do not be shy about visiting Uie National Archives. How can I verify that a house is an Underground Railroad site? The National Park Service has developed a verification process for reconstructing the stories of the Underground Railroad. The process involves the use of written sources with strong or circumstantial evidence. The research process also requires carefiil analysis of local oral traditions. The National Park Service is currently compiling an inventory of every structure associated with Uie Underground Railroad. Once you have established at least two different kinds of evidence, you should contact the Park Service by calling Uie head of Uic Network to Freedom program, Diane Miller, at 402.221.3749. * Web site Advisory Committee If you have a history question: 1 .mo Jack-son.

Me sailed with the Champlain-Poulrincourt expedition. His linguistic expertise made him a valuable member to the crew. Me spoke numerous languages including Micmac and French and was an interpreter for Champlain. Da Costa was a well educated individual and was a charier member of Canada’s oldest club, The Order of Canada. 1628 Olivier Le Jenne (a native of Madagascar) is the first known black person to have lived in Canada. Me came to Canada at the age of seven during the invasion of New France. He was a slave of British Commander, David Kirk. After a time he was sold to a Quebec resident who sent him to a school that had been established by a Jesuit priest named Father Le Jeune. He was later baptized as Olivier Le Jeune. Me died on May 10"\ 1654 with status of a freeperson. Louis XIV sanctioned the longstanding practice of slavery- in New France. Blacks 1709 were among the first pioneers in New France as many of them had been brought as slaves to fur trading posts and settlements. These black pioneers helped to clear the land and establish these early posts and settlements. Treaty of Utrecht is signed. This allows the French territory of Acadia to be 1713 transferred to the British. Settlers, bringing their slaves w ith them from New England, moved into the area (which was renamed Nova Scotia). Many of these slaves had brought valuable skills w ith them, learned in Africa, these skilled tradesmen were then sold to American colonics when their work was no longer needed in Canada. The city of Halifax was built by the labor of slaves. 1734 A/arie-Joseph Angelique was the slave of a wealthy Montreal merchant. On April 11, in an drastic act of resistance, she set fire to her masters’ house so that it would divert attention from her escape. The fire destroyed 46 buildings including the Hotel Dieu. Once caught she was publicly tortured and hanged. Britain conquered New France. The slave system, previously established in 1760 Quebec, were continued under British Rule. Although census records had not yet been established, it is estimated that approximately 500 or 600 slaves lived in Canada during the 18^ century. These slaves were Blacks and Pawnee Indians. 1775 American Revolution: The British government encouraged colonists to join with them to fight. For this involvement they promised free land grants and military postings. Slaves were offered their freedom along with free land and postings. Many joined in the fight. After the war, United Umpire Loyalists (URL), as they were now known moved 1783 from America to the Bahamas, Bermuda, the West Indies, East and West Florida and Canada. Over 30,000 people moved to Nova Scotia and Quebec. The Loyalists were http ://www. hi stori cal connexi on. ca/ti mesl i nes. htm 2/8/02 �, Times Lines Page 2 of 5 comprised of a diverse ethnic makeup (European, British, Aboriginal and Africans). Over 3,000 Black Loyalists (including the famous Black Pioneers, which was an all black militia unit) received land grants in Canada. British Act of 1790 allowed new settlers to bring slaves into what was to be 1790 known as Upper Canada for the value of "forty shillings" a person. 1791 1793 Separation of upper and lower provinces into Upper and Lower Canada. The first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada. Lieutenant-Colonel John Graves Simcoe and his wife Elizabeth were abolitionists who lobbied for the dismantling of slavery i in Upper Canada. Ironically, 6 of the 16 legislators in Hf the first Parliament of Upper Canada were slave mH owners. John Graves Simcoe, First Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada Founder of Toronto (Portrait by Jean Laurent Mosnier) ChiefJustice Osgoode drafted a bill which was intended to contain slavery in 1793 Upper Canada. The first Parliament of the Province of Upper Canada passed the legislation the Statute of 1793. This statute prohibited the importation of slaves into Upper Canada. It is considered the first specific human rights law in the British Empire to address the institute of slavery. Although the law did not abolish slavery in Upper Canada it did allow the children of the then slaves to be freed at the age of twenty-five. 1803 William Osgoode while Chief Justice of Lower Canada (named in 1793) spearheaded the historic decision that slavery was inconsistent with British Law. Although the judgement did not legally abolish slavery, over 300 slaves were set free in< Lower Canada. This judgement let slave owners that Canada was inhospitable towards slavery and a clear anti-slavery foundation began to be established. During the War of 1812 man Blacks fought alongside of the British, in Black 1812 militia units. When the war ended, Sir Peregrine Maitland, the Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, offer land grants to the Black veterans and refugees. This settlement was formed on what is Oro township today. Upper Canada’s Attorney General, John Beverly Robinson, declared that Blacks who resided on Canadian soil would be free. He also promised that Canadian courts would uphold that freedom. Soon American Blacks began to hear that they loo could bo lrcc in Canada and would be protected under British Law. Canada began to be viewed as a safe haven. 182(1 It is believed that the Underground Railroad (UGR) movement began by a group of Pennsylvania Quakers in 1804. During the 1800s many people, who opposed slavery, had formed a complicated system of networks and escape routes. These routes led to freedom in Canada. By 1820, the escape routes of this system were firmly established throughout the United Stales. During the 1830’s and 40’s many UGR terminals and stations had been set up in Canada. It is estimated that approximately 30,000 Blacks came across the border in the early and mid 1800's. Many of these Blacks (Fugitive Slaves and Free Blacks) did not use this underground system, escaping by themselves to freedom in Canada. 1830 Josiah Henson, his w ife and four children escaped to Canada on October 2S1*1. v.. 1&30 through the UGR. Josiah and his family remained _ Canada, where today there is a historical site. Many newcomers found comfort at the Dawn settlement http ://www. hi stori cal connexi on. ca/ti mesl i nes.htm 2/8/02 �Page 3 of 5 Times Lines established in part by Josiah.

This famous book inspired numerous individuals to join the abolitionist cause. Josiah Henson & his wife (Photo Credit:: Metropolitan Toronto Library Board) 1833 The British Imperial Act of 1833 was passed ending slavery throughout the British Umpire. This act caused the largest influx of Blacks arriving into Canada West during 1830 and 1860. It is estimated that approximately 30 to 50 ,000 moved to Canada during this period. Mackenzie Rebellion: The government of Upper Canada enrolled Blacks in all 1837 Black Militia units., i.e. Runcheys Rangers. However, enterprising Blacks forged their own militia unit before enlisted by the government. They formed groups like Captain Caldwell’s Coloured Volunteers. Anderson R. Abbott, a surgeon, soldier, poet and educator was bom in Toronto. He became the first Canadian Black doctor. Black men were awarded the right to vote. Women could not. There w ere a number of boats on the Great Lakes that assisted the abolitionist 1842 cause. Often they gav e free passage to fugitive slaves. William Wells Brown, a former slave and owner of a number of boats, brought 69 slaves into Canada from May to December. A fugitive slave Nelson Hackett is forced to return to his master and the United States. This ignited the abolitionist cause further and was a highly publicized event. 1849 Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery around this lime period. She was to become one of the most famous Underground railroad operators. It is believed that she returned into the United States over 19 times to help over 300 slaves escape. Her name and activities were so well known that a $40,000 bounty was established by angry slave owners. Tubman resided in St. Catharines, Ontario for over eight years. The town was an important location for the UGR as citizens were empathclic to the abolitionist cause. She was considered a military and logistics genius. At the start of the American Civil War, she was recruited to act as a spy for the Union Army. Harriet Tubman & her charges (Photo Credit:Metropolitan Toronto Library Board) 1850 U.S. Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act which spearheaded an exodus of Free Blacks and fugitive slaves into Canada. The Act threatened the safety of free Blacks who lived in the Northern Free Slates. It enabled them to be captured and sold back into slavery. The Common Schools Act is passed in Canada West. This piece of legislation sanctioned http://www.historicalconnexion.ca/timeslines.htm 2/8/02 �Page 4 of 5 Times Lines ihe racial separation of schools lor Blacks and Whites. Black parents protested by establishing their own religious based schools for their children. The practice of racial segregation continued into the early 1900's in many areas throughout Canada West. The Toronto Anti-Slaveit Society was formed. The first meeting was held at the 1851 St. Lawrence Hall in Toronto. Ironically this location was used previously for slave auctions. George Brown of the Globe was one of the founding members Of the society. Extremely influencial, he was an abolitionist who helped to make Toronto a hotbed for the anti-slavery cause. Toronto, the only area not to segregate its schools by race, influenced the surrounding areas with its anti-racist sentiments. 1852 •;i- rY.v". liemy Bibb published and distributed The Anti-Slave iv Harp ,a collection of popular anti-slavery songs in Windsor, Ontario.
