Dawn of Days: Story of the Underground Railroad

The document under study is video about the Underground Railroad and how it was organized. It took place in the 19^th  century in the USA. The Underground Railroad was a secret road on which abolitionists would help runaway slaves to flee from the slave states of the South to go to the free states of the North. It was not a real railroad, it is used as a metaphor to illustrate the secret road to freedom for the fugitive slaves.
