- 1. Fact or Fiction? Lies, Mysteries and Untruths on the Underground Railroad
- 3. Say What?! One person’s idea of the use or meaning of a primary source doesn’t make it fact! You need to back up your claim with multiple sources!
- 7. Fact or Fiction? This slave coin, minted in 1838, was used as “payment” on the Underground Railroad. A slave would give this coin to a conductor on the Underground Railroad, and if the conductor accepted the coin it meant the slave could enter their home and take shelter for the night. FICTION!
- 9. Fact or Fiction? These shackles were used to bind slaves and keep them from escaping. The shackles were attached to the slaves’ legs. Fact??
- 11. Fact or Fiction? This house in Dayton, Ohio, was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Fugitive slaves would enter through a door in the back of the house and hide in the attic. FICTION!
- 13. Fact or Fiction? This photograph shows a group of abolitionists. These twenty men were arrested for attempting to free an alleged slave from his captors. Fact!
- 14. Fact or Fiction? Quilts contained codes to help slaves on their journey. This quilt is done in the log cabin pattern. Hung on a clothesline or across the front porch, this pattern told slaves that this was a safe house or that they needed to take shelter. FICTION!
- 16. Fact or Fiction? This map shows the Underground Railroad routes through Ohio that fugitive slaves traveled. Fact??
- 18. Fact or Fiction? This poster is advertising a reward for finding a lost woman named Emily. She has gone missing and her family is looking for her. FICTION!

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Ancestral pride/community pride: Today, most people would be proud to have a stop on the Underground Railroad in their community, or have an ancestor that helped fugitive slaves. No one wants to say that their great-great grandfather turned in a fugitive slave in to the authorities.
- It does not matter so much if the group is right or wrong, but the mental gymnastics used to reach the conclusion.
- These four points are important to keep in mind when looking at your source and description. It’s important to be somewhat skeptical of what you read.
- It doesn’t make sense! Where would slaves get the coins? Where would they keep the coins? Wouldn’t the coins be heavy or make sounds when the slaves were on their journey?
- There is a joke that any house built before 1865 was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Even if the house was built during the proper time period that does not automatically make it a stop on the Underground Railroad.
- This romantic notion, much like the anti-slavery token, doesn’t make much sense: How would fugitive slaves see the quilt if they were traveling at night? How would fugitive slaves know all the quilt block codes? Wouldn’t slave catchers catch on after a while?
- This is not a primary source but a secondary source. Siebert used primary sources to create this document.
