I followed the underground railroad and I made it to Canada! It said that I now have freedom, which will allow me to vote and have land!

I'm in Canada!!! I took risks and it worked out! I stayed at a safe house and went across an icy river into Canada. It said life still will not always be easy, but at least I would not be in slavery anymore! I can own my own land and vote now!

I made it to Canada where I'm now free!

I made it to Canada where I can finally be free at last! My struggles throughout the underground railroad were definitely worth it in the end because not only am I free, I can also vote and own land.

I chickened out and my escape was over... Let's be real here.. It would be really scary to approach a white house not knowing whether they would help you or turn you in. The decision that slaves had to make was so much more than a click of a button.

I chose not to cross Lake Erie because it looked to dangerous! All it told me was that underground railroad agents encouraged people to go to Canada and that the Fugitive Slave Act made it legal to hunt slaves anywhere...

Made it to Canada. Now with my newly acquired freedom I've try some Canadian Bacon and learn how much of a lie it is.

Made it to Canada!

You made it! It took courage, luck, help, and incredible stamina. Here in Canada, you can finally breathe free. Not only won’t the government return you to slavery in the United States, but you can vote and even own land. No wonder thousands have already run away to settle here. You still face challenges: finding a home, making a living, adjusting to a new place. But you face them in freedom.

I made it to Canada!!!!!!! But if it were me, I would have killed the slave owner and as family as they slept in their warm comfortable homes as we suffered and tried finding any bit of warmth we could. Than I would have fallowed the underground railroads the way I did and escaped.

I made it to Canada by taking risks and putting my life in danger. I imagine this would be very scary for a slave trying to gain freedom and experiencing these things!
10:26 PM

12:30 PM
Ah, Canada! I don't think I could have made that incredible journey without my main man, a weirdly pitchy black man singing freedom tunes quietly throughout my quest. #thxman #teamfreeatlast #notyoupitchyblackman #getbacktowhereyoucameboy

Made it to Canada, I imagine in real life it would have been terrifying and horrible, but since someone told us what to do in this game (thank you, based Jimmy) It wasn't too hard. Also, the audio quality made the singing guy a lot creepier than he probably should have been.
4:25 PM
Yes I finally made it to Canada! I can now have equal rights and vote! #canadianlife
5:46 PM

10:00 PM
I made it to Canada! I can now vote and own land. I took risks like approaching a white person'a home and crossing an icy lake, but they paid off. Slaves also took many risks. It must have been hard for then to decide what to do. I still fce challenges, but now I face them in freedom.
