The Underground Railroad Pennsylvania

The Underground Railroad was not actually a railroad or under ground/  In fact is was homes, institutions, and routes the slaves traveled to freedom.  Pennsylvania being the first free state north of the Mason-Dixon line provided a lot of points to freedom.  The trail goes through other northern counties like reading, PA.  Which in itself had a very important role in the Underground Railroad.  Reading had stations where slaves should stop, and be ushered further north .  I think it is so cool to live  in a state that plan a major role in history.  I wish i could spend a back and see how everything was done, and how the Underground Railroad operated.
