[@676ca]

cool stuff buddy keep up the good work!!!!!!

[@alexandermarquis6197]

Wow, that's a really low number/ percentage overall.

[@CanOfGeese]

WAIT! it's not a railroad!? What? Why? I'm so confused, since elementary school I thought it was an underground train. Wow. My mind has been blown. Thanks Hip Hughes, for saving me from future embarrassment.

[@SAM-hs8kr]

WHAT?! I haven't watched the video yet an I'm over the top confused.....BRUUUUH

[@PatrickOtting]

I can not believe someone said it was a railroad underground. 💀💀💀

[@alexandermarquis6197]

It's nice to think so , for years I had thought or imagined so.

[@lucvlys]

I’m only here for school

You have a new subscriber! Started with the Marshall Plan, the Truman Doctrine, then this one! Awesome work! Will be watching more of your work.

[@donnasmall8492]

Speaker talks TOO fast

[@gratefulgrace8023]

You can reduce the speed in the playback settings.

[@alegutierrez4537]

When I'm tired of reading my book, I look at your videos... they've helped me passed some tests... my midterm too lol.

[@hiphughes]

+Ale Gutierrez Glad the videos give you some balance. the traditional textbook Works for many students, but I do believe kids need choices. The pathway to meaning making should be wide and accessible to all kinds of walkers.

[@Malexah_mor]

Ur amazing! Thx for all ur videos! 💥🌟

[@adriantime9067]

+Hip Hughes how was the Underground Railroad not discovered/how did it last for so long?

[@zayncuriosity23]

Adrian Time The directions to the underground railroard were hidden in slave gospel/freedom songs. The directions were in the songs themselves, and the songs got passed around from slave to slave. Since the masters paid no attention to the songs, that’s how the railroad wasn’t found. Edit: Actually, I think some of the masters did try to listen/find the Underground Railroad, but since the directions were so well hidden and only made sense to the slaves, it was difficult for masters or police to find it.

[@nicholascrum2598]

Anyone else here bc of American History?

[@williamwasp7951]

me

[@hollismith4919]

Thankyou so so much!!! I am writing a 7 page essay on The Underground Railroad book & i wanted to know the real history behind it!

[@potatocatasmr]

How did slaves journey on the Underground Railroad to freedom?

[@Kitties_are_pretty]

Is that a question on a worksheet you're doing? Are you trying to get Hip Hughes to answer a question on your homework?

[@ivansantos2531]

I had to watch this video and take notes so when the sike came around i already had the note on my paper😂🤦🏽‍♂️ nice video tho helped me pass

[@nancycox2562]

I forced to watch this for social studies if I didn't have to I would not even be on here '-'

[@miradawn89]

he talks so fast😄

[@miradawn89]

he is so funny

[@hiphughes]

maybe you should watch the video at 80% speed? I do have a tendency to talk fast, I think it’s because I took debate for a few years in high school and it seem like the only way to win was to talk 1,000,000 miles an hour. I have to remind myself to slow down sometimes.

[@luisamaria8687]

Can you have a video on Harriet Tubman? I want to know more about her.

[@hiphughes]

+Luisa Maria I actually filmed a lecture on her. I went to edit a couple days later and I realized I had my mic turned off. She's on the list so hopefully soon…

[@luisamaria8687]

Oh no :( Thank you Keith!

[@carebeardraws7149]

Luisa Maria There is a Ted ed video the you can watch about it.

[@mariolis]

Fallout 4 brought me here the underground railroad is the inspiration for a faction in the game , that is called railroad , and they use similar concepts , and their sole purpose is to free synthetic humans escape from their slavery (the scientists that made them used them as slaves)

[@conspiracywoman883]

They should make a movie about her. Harriet Tubman the truth

[@walterdennisclark]

. . . most effort was on the part of the blacks themselves. Thanks for that. . . . slave catchers, using the law... thanks for that too. . . . efforts to nullifying the fugitive slave act. Wow. A very interesting quote from Tupman: I could have saved more if they knew they were slaves. The point is that when you get used to a way of life, you can become comfortable. Important for today's slaves of government handouts not realizing that they are slaves too.

[@sirlike]

He reminds me of Neelix from Star Trek Voyager.

[@gaboelmexicano3125]

He reminds me of a smart Kevin from the Office

[@oneatatime3256]

i'm sooooo happy i found your channel i have to do a project on the underground and you have helped me so mush there are a lot of things i did't know but now i do thanks to you.

[@As1way]

thanks for the help for homework love from across the atlantic

[@nacoran]

I think the Fugitive Slave Act is the best demonstration that the Civil War had nothing to do with state rights.

[@unctarheels5612]

nacoran bullshit man... Such bullshit...

[@nacoran]

How so? The Southern States now claim it was about state rights. They wanted the right to have slaves, but they also wanted the right to have slaves and chase slaves in other states. How does that square with wanting state's rights? That's just, 'Hey, we want things our way'. (Interesting that state righters today fight against states that say, want to regulate guns in their own borders). Actually though, reading the different articles the South put out when they tried to secede is pretty convincing too. They all mention slavery pretty much in the first paragraph. State's rights is almost always a cover for wanting the whole country to have the same rules as your state. On the left, at least, when they say they want a rule for the whole country they are honest about it.

[@TrangPakbaby]

I should send this to Porsha Williams. That idiot actually thought the Underground Railroad was a MARTA Train.

[@noabengal3739]

She is cute and awesome!

[@TheAndrewSchneider]

Have you ever listened to the music of another of William Still's descendants, the composer William Grant Still?

[@TheAndrewSchneider]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIC7nn6bnax3o6c

[@TheAndrewSchneider]

Maybe not a direct descendant, but a member of the extended family at least. I'm not sure if it was descended from him or one of his siblings.

[@gyplychong2754]

you are great, the best ever. Thank you !!!

[@tribalque2232]

8:50. i checked the math. its 0.05%.

[@hiphughes]

+tribal que whew. I really should've just use the calculator, lucky guess

[@fblthelost1979]

Nice guess

[@katherinenelson5905]

this was a terrible video to be forced to watch for SS, editing could be much improved, read with captions on for faster answers 1. Not a railroad 0:40 2. White Wash 2:16 3. Once you reach the North you might not be free 4:53 4. number of slaves escaped on Underground Railroad exaggerated 8:21 5. Myths 9:54

[@carebeardraws7149]

Thanks

[@shinewhopp4804]

I was with you until you said the song was written by whoever... no way that song is any less than a couple hundred years old. It sounds passed down through generations by word of mouth. Maybe at some point somebody decided to make it a documented "song" but I seriously doubt that that was its original purpose.

[@swagman2269]

Thank you for making history interesting again. My Social Studies only gives us text books and is very mean. She hopes that she will fail us. You are a god!

[@pug259]

i was told by my history teacher that the quilt thing is true

[@allisongrasso6319]

There is an antique quilt in a frame at one of the local Friends' meetinghouses with a plaque explaining how and when it was used.

[@JeremyWhy]

AMAZING!

[@Sketch507]

Okay

[@foxkitty8234]

[@ristoschaumann4219]

Thank youu

[@cainster]

Keith I've always wondered what would happen if a guy like Donald Trump watched a few of your videos. I get the impression that a fifth grader knows more about American History than him.

[@alanhamilton634]

He's only concerned with alternative facts that validate his fucked up world view.

[@ericsander1203]

cool

[@Gameday_7]

Damn!!! I feel violated, this whole time i thought it was a legit underground railroad! Too much allegory goin on boi I tell ya, first the bible now this??? Damn!!! 😵

[@janeewinn2384]

What??🤨

[@Gameday_7]

@@janeewinn2384 I thought it was a real underground railroad like a real physical underground tunnel they took but it wasn't it's allegory for the route they took! 🙃
