Of course, there is always a slim chance that H+ actually made a breakthrough in holographic technology, that the CGI is a faithful representation of their product and that Holus just happens to look exactly like a 150 years old parlor trickâ¦ Iâll let them answer that one:
The history of the Underground Railroad is a story of human courage, endurance. and the belief of individual freedom. Due to the secretive nature of the railroad, it. is unknown just how many slaves attempted to escape or achieved a new life in.
The Underground Railroad, a vast network of people who helped fugitive slaves escape to the North and to Canada, was not run by any single organization or person. Rather, it consisted of many individuals -- many whites but predominently black -- who knew only of the local efforts to aid fugitives and not of the overall operation. Still, it effectively moved hundreds of slaves northward each year -- according to one estimate, the South lost 100,000 slaves between 1810 and 1850. An organized system to assist runaway slaves seems to have begun towards the end of the 18th century.
