The Underground Railroad in Indiana
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Stories about the Underground Railroad have been spun out of fact and fiction. Many individuals claimed to be a part of it because of the importance it gained after emancipation. Indiana too had its own story of its involvement in the Underground Railroad, which included individuals and groups of all sorts. Blacks and whites participated in it separately and together to aid fugitive slaves escaping the South in search of freedom in the North. The network of stations and routes which comprised the Underground Railroad in Indiana assisted those slaves who made it across the Ohio River on their way to safety and new life as free people.
