AFS 3150: The Underground Railroad in the Midwest
3.00 Credits
Western Michigan University

Slaves would begin their journey in one of the upper southern states, and go from stop to stop, ultimately reaching "their Canaan lands.'' There was a large group who participated in this pursuit of freedom for the enslaved Africans. They were considered subversive fanatics by slaveholders and righteous reformers by other. The aim of this class is the examination of the Underground Railroad system and the people involved. Of particular interest will be the role played by Michiganders in this freedom movement.
