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.
