• "The wind blows from the South today": This told UGRR workers that there were fugitive slaves in the area.

With these words they

were able to RUNAWAY

From slavery

Drinking Gourd: The North Star.

"The river bank makes a mighty good road": This told slaves that if they were to try and escape, they should walk in the river because dogs couldn't track their scents through water.

"The dead trees will show you the way": A reminder to slaves that, if the North Star wasn't visible, moss grew only on the north side of dead trees, so they could tell which way to walk.

"Left foot, peg foot": Footprints left by a wooden-legged UGRR worker as guidelines to the path to freedom.

"The river ends between two hills": Visual directions to the Ohio River

Also…Songs! “FOLLOW THE DRINKING GOURD”

When the sun comes back, and the first Quail calls,

Follow the drinking gourd, For the old man is waiting to carry you to

freedom If you follow the drinking gourd.

The riverbank will make a very good road,

The dead trees show you the way.

Left foot, peg foot traveling on,

Following the drinking gourd.

Follow the drinking gourd, Follow the drinking gourd, For the old man is waiting

to carry you to freedom If you follow the drinking

gourd.

The river ends between two hills, Follow the drinking

gourd, There's another river

on the other side, Follow the drinking

gourd.

Follow the drinking gourd, Follow the drinking gourd, For the old man is waiting

to carry you to freedom If you follow the drinking gourd.

Where the great big river meets the little river, Follow the drinking

gourd. For the old man is waiting

for to carry you to freedom

If you follow the drinking gourd.

If the North is AGAINST slavery….

why didn’t they all help runaway slaves?!?

Reason 1

Fugitive Slave Laws: 20-50 yrs in jail or killed.

CREAM!Reason #2:

“Neck Hair’s” Back & The Country Starts to divide even more…

“The present condition of the 2 races reversed, They and their Northern allies are the MASTERS,

and we the SLAVES. “ John C. Calhoun (Senator South Carolina)

“We are divorced North from South…because we HATED each other so. “

– Mary Chestnut
