    The Underground Railroad in Tennessee to 1865

    The State of State History in Tennessee in 2008 The Underground Railroad in Tennesseee to 1865 A Report By State Historian Walter T. Durham The State of State History in Tennessee in 2008 The Underground Railroad in Tennessee to 1865 A Report by State Historian Walter T. Durham Tennessee State Library and Archives Department of State Nashville, Tennessee 37243 Jeanne D. Sugg State Librarian and Archivist Department of State, Authorization No. 305294, 2000 copies November 2008. This public document was promulgated at a cost of $1.77 per copy. Preface and Acknowledgments In 2004 and again in 2006, I published studies called The State of State History in Tennessee. The works surveyed the organizations and activities that preserve and interpret Tennessee history and bring it to a diverse public. This year I deviate by making a study of the Under- ground Railroad in Tennessee and bringing it into the State of State History series. No prior statewide study of this re- markable phenomenon has been produced, a situation now remedied. During the early nineteenth century, the number of slaves escaping the South to fi nd freedom in the northern states slowly increased. The escape methodologies and ex- perience, repeated over and over again, became known as the Underground Railroad. In the period immediately after the Civil War a plethora of books and articles appeared dealing with the Underground Railroad. Largely written by or for white men, the accounts contained recollections of the roles they played in assisting slaves make their escapes. There was understandable exag- geration because most of them had been prewar abolitionists who wanted it known that they had contributed much to the successful fl ights of a number of slaves, oft times at great danger to themselves.
  • Abolitionist Movement

    Abolitionist Movement

    Abolitionist Movement The goal of the abolitionist movement was the immediate emancipation of all slaves and the end of racial discrimination and segregation. Advocating for immediate emancipation distinguished abolitionists from more moderate anti-slavery advocates who argued for gradual emancipation, and from free-soil activists who sought to restrict slavery to existing areas and prevent its spread further west. Radical abolitionism was partly fueled by the religious fervor of the Second Great Awakening, which prompted many people to advocate for emancipation on religious grounds. Abolitionist ideas became increasingly prominent in Northern churches and politics beginning in the 1830s, which contributed to the regional animosity between North and South leading up to the Civil War. The Underground Railroad c.1780 - 1862 The Underground Railroad, a vast network of people who helped fugitive slaves escape to the North and to Canada, was not run by any single organization or person. Rather, it consisted of many individuals -- many whites but predominantly black -- who knew only of the local efforts to aid fugitives and not of the overall operation. Still, it effectively moved hundreds of slaves northward each year -- according to one estimate, the South lost 100,000 slaves between 1810 and 1850. Still, only a small percentage of escaping slaves received assistance from the Underground Railroad. An organized system to assist runaway slaves seems to have begun towards the end of the 18th century. In 1786 George Washington complained about how one of his runaway slaves was helped by a "society of Quakers, formed for such purposes." The system grew, and around 1831 it was dubbed "The Underground Railroad," after the then emerging steam railroads.

    A Friend to Homeless Animals 2014-2015 Annual Report

    SAVE A Friend to Homeless Animals 2014-2015 Annual Report Message from the Executive Director Dear SAVE Friends: Thank you for another great year! The success of SAVE would not be possible without your loyalty and involvement. Your ongoing support makes a significant difference in every area of the shelter’s programming. Several highlights from 2014-2015 include: • The establishment of a formal foster program for SAVE’s more needy animals. • Another terrific Gala and Holiday Boutique raising nearly $164,000 for SAVE. • Greater visibility throughout Mercer and Somerset Counties due to events, school visits, adoption days, and more. As many of you already know, SAVE’s remarkable staff and volunteers work hard to ensure that SAVE’s animals are well cared for and are quickly placed. The shelter’s reputation has grown and families know what a great job we do matching needy animals to caring people. Of course, we are more dependent now than ever on individual contributions. While we have seen an increase in donations in the last year, shelter expenses remain high. Providing quality care to the animals in residence is SAVE’s top priority. Again, thank you for your leadership and commitment to SAVE. Building a bright future for many dogs and cats is what makes the SAVE family so special. With deep gratitude, Piper H. Burrows Executive Director Our Mission SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals, is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit shelter and animal welfare organization dedicated to protecting the health and well-being of companion animals in the Princeton region. Through six core programs of Rescue, Shelter, Health and Welfare, Spay/Neuter, Adoption and Humane Education, SAVE strives to substantially reduce animal overpopulation and the corresponding euthanasia of adoptable dogs and cats.

    PLANNING GUIDE Brochure sponsored by Welcome to MCAA 2013 MCAA 2013 is just around the corner. And this year we have a unique opportunity to step outside of our day-to-day lives, expand our minds, and explore the potential of unconventional thinking. If you are like me, your day at the office is filled with “must do” items. Your schedule probably doesn’t allow much time for thinking about the big picture. And yet, we know that to remain competitive and continue to succeed in a rapidly changing world, we need to step back and get a broader perspective. There is nothing more important in the long run for leaders and key executives. That’s why our theme for MCAA 2013 is Unconventional Thinking: The Essential Ingredient of Success. We have asked our incredible lineup of speakers to share with us examples of how embracing unconventional thinking has helped them succeed. We’ll do some serious thinking about the future along with the extraordinary networking and social opportunities you’ve come to expect from an MCAA Convention. So make your plans for San Antonio now. Debbie and I look forward to welcoming you there! Mac Lynch MCAA 2012 President Brochure sponsored by The Incomparable Martina McBride Her voice is as big and beautiful as a Texas prairie!
