right Well the author mentions the underground railroad in the
- 00:32
passage for the purpose of what And hear the potential
- 00:35
answers Morning Anything Okay well all right So what's up
- 00:40
with this mention of the underground railroad choice A definitely
- 00:43
does not have it right Douglas goal isn't to give
- 00:47
people examples of how to escape from slavery How do
- 00:50
we know Well magic and the fact that douglas specifically
- 00:53
says so in the passage he doesn't make the cut

- 01:29
publicly does nothing to help slaves In fact it encourages
- 01:32
slave owners to keep a tighter watch over their slaves
- 01:36
Not convinced douglas backs up his argument with the example
- 01:39
of the underground railroad which is now well known means
- 01:42
of escape dying to know details of douglas escape Well
- 01:45
it may have involved him disguising himself as a sailor 00:01:48.716 --> [endTime] You really had to practice is ours
