Search Results The Underground Railroad in Rochester, New York
Category: Society>History>By Time Period>Nineteenth Century>Underground Railroad
While the stringent laws of The Fugitive slave Act were being enforced and the institution of slavery continued unabated, many abolitionists assisted escaped slaves regardless of the consequences. These abolitionists, who were primarily composed of Quakers, ex-slaves and other liberal thinking citizens, helped establish what was known as the Underground Railroad.
