Question: If you had been a free person in the 1800s, would you have helped slaves escape to freedom!? !?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
That question would be hard to answer!. Most would say yes I would help!. But, many have tryed to help the slaves!. Women who step out and tryed to help were beaten by their fathers and husband!. Children mostly the boys were beaten by the leather strap!. Not just the black were slaves back then!. The white men slave the nation!. The Indians weren't even though of as people!.
Looking back in history no one was left unpunnished!. Rape, Beaten, Broken, Homeless, Hungry, Unloved!. You really can't just pick one group out from another!. Its sad to see what happen back then!. To know that Men can Hate that much!.
But yet!. Churches were raising up faster then grass and how the churches stood by Men!. Through out history!. A new town would spring up and there a new church!.!.!.down the street there a bar!. New town new church and brothel house!.

That's a question no one could answer honestly unless they were alive then, but if you were well educated or a Quaker or Shaker your chances would have been higher!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
