Great pilot!
Obviously one of the best pilots I viewed in Wondrium. Abolitionist icons of american slavery, this introduction to both women was well presented. I hope Wondrium could do a complete course in Undergroud Railroad!

Both Harriets are amazing
Just finished reading 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' and visiting the Eastern Shore NPS Harriet Tubman site last week- this was a great review.

Cant wait for the course!
We watched Robert Bell’s earlier course on “America’s Struggle Against Slavery,” which was riveting. This pilot is excellent. We’ll turn to the full-up course as soon as it is available.

Lecture of the 2 Harriets
Great lecture. Learn more than what I knew about the under ground railroad! I would highly recommend this a support lecture for anyone taking African American history in college.

Overview
01: Harriet Beecher Stowe and Harriet Tubman
When it comes to heroes of the antislavery movement, there are, interestingly enough, TWO pivotal Harriets. Examine Harriet Beecher Stowe’s blockbuster novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, to better understand the ways in which Stowe advanced the fight against slavery and edged America closer to the Civil War. Then, explore the more immediate and equally decisive steps taken by enslaved people and their allies to build an antislavery escape network that stretched from the bowels of the slave South all the way into British Canada, with a focus on a different Harriet—Harriet Tubman.
