In 1619, the first African slaves arrived in America. More than two
hundred years later, African-American slaves continued to suffer
under the cruelest and harshest conditions in the South. Slaves
tried to escape, but it was difficult. However, during the
mid-1800s, the Underground Railroad—a secret network of people and
escape routes—finally gave many slaves hope. It helped thousands
reach freedom. Author Carin T. Ford discusses the tragic story of
slavery in American history, the heroes of the Underground
Railroad, and the end of slavery in the United States.
