Information about how people were transported is also available for more in-depth historical exploration to support your teaching. My thesis was on the exaggerated role of the Underground Railroad in Canada since the northern states had ended slavery. In addition, many of the communities in Ontario failed due to racism on the other side of the border. How the abolitionists knew each other and supported the work is fascinating and becomes a lesson in who knew who for those interested in digging a little deeper during Black History Month and beyond. It can also be fun to have students find these connections for critical thinking or inquiry-based work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
