Underground Railroad in Illinois - What Was it and How Did it Work?
On June 19, 1865, U.S. troops brought freedom to the enslaved people of Galveston, Texas. The anniversary of that day has grown into the Juneteenth holiday that celebrates the end of slavery everywhere in America.
But enslaved people were emancipating themselves long before that. They risked their lives to escape and seek freedom in the North, aided by other enslaved people, free Blacks and sympathetic white people. This secret network was known as the Underground Railroad.
In this video, ALPLM historian Dr. Jacob K. Friefeld discusses the Underground Railroad, particularly as it operated in Illinois, with two guests: Deanda Johnson from the Network to Freedom Program at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, and Tim Townsend from the Lincoln Home National Historic Site.

    Given all the shared heritage in the US, including the fact that we ended chattel slavery, the choice to venerate the four years of the slavers' failed rebellion as one's "heritage" is a deliberately and consciously racist choice. Anyone who grew up in the South, as I did, knows this full well, and knows EXACTLY how these people talk when they think they're safely alone among racist friends. It's "Hate Pretending to be Heritage," and they ALL know it.

    "in 1931 he was part of a coup to overthrow the prime minister. The coup failed. So what would happen if an American tried to do something like that, it would be bad news"... 2024, USA.... We have an ex-president and his top cronies still walking free after trying to overturn the will of the people, a coup, in 2020. With 35 to 45% of the population okay with that. A man who brags about receiving love letters from a psychopath dictator, worships Vladimir Putin, a political party and news media outlets that promote Russian propaganda. Is against giving aid to country that's been invaded by a dictator. I ask you doctor, if America 2024 was America in 1931, which side of the war would we join? Does the Constitution allow for half the country to join the allies and the other half ally with japan? We could get a world war and a civil war done at the same time over in Europe and in the Pacific. That would spare us a lot of collateral damage.

    There is lots of info regarding historical clothing on the web these days. I think you will find that corsets (if fitted correctly , like today's bras) were comfortable and not meant to be "tight laced" ever. Only a very small percentage of women would have tight laced because it was so impractical and uncomfortable. Regarding the hairstyles of the Victorian era (and even Edwardian era) the ladies also saved their hair to make extra hair pieces for a fuller hairdo (that was in a perfect color match since it was their own hair)

    “Hysteria” was a broad term applied to most women who exhibited emotion- outside of the patriarch lead decided ideal of womanhood. I don’t know if we would have hospitalized her today as we recognize several of her issues and there exist outpatient support. Had her living son been so informed, he might have opted for in home care vs sending her away as her “illness” was a blemish on him and his attempts to make a living.
