There once was a family but not an ordinary a slave

family. Life wasn’t a breeze for them and

they wanted a different life.

They lived on a plantation in Alabama with slave master James.

They hated being slaves

and all dreamed of being free one day.

They hated being slaves and all dreamed of being free one day.

Everyone began to pack a small, light bag and set forth their journey to the North with Harriet in the Underground railroad.

The nights were cold and brutal for Harriet and the family. The children were drained and the adults but they had to continue their journey regardless if they wanted to reach their dream.

They traveled day and night. Never knowing when they could be discovered and killed of sent back to their master but yet they continued their journey.

Along their journey there were some decent times especially when they were helped by the Whites in the Underground Railroad. They would help them with clothing, food, and shelter which helped them a lot throughout the long journey.

After 3 long months of traveling Harriet whispered to the family, “We are almost there.”

Everyone began to dream more of being free and were excited that they were almost there. They thought back on where they began and realized how far they came and knew they couldn’t turn back now regardless of how worn out they were.

At last Harriet and the family made it to Canada meaning the made it to freedom. They were all so happy and they praised among each other.

The Family got to live out their dream of freedom thanks to Harriet. Harriet traveled back South to help other families also experience freedom.
