What's the history of the Underground Railroad in Michigan?

[@TearsPlays]

There is an underground railroad that goes through Monroe, Michigan, many old houses in downtown are connected to it, and the Dorsch library was a station of it.

In Schoolcraft there is the Dr.Nathan Thomas home where 1000 to 1500 escaping slaves passed through on their way to freedom.

Born here, Free Labor here, that made America a super power in the world. America with free labor from slaves sold cotton, sugar, tobacco all over the world

C O O L Massive respect to the many who created the Underground Railroad and kept it working, AND to all those who used it and thereby change their lives and the future of our country.

The East Michigan Indians played a huge role in using canoes to get the slaves crossing over to Canada.

Very interesting

Utica had a stop. Its a very interestingly story and history is found in the Utica, Library. A farmer and wife housed slaves but also hid them in a spring house on their property when slave hunters came looking for them. The slaves would know which house to go to by an unusual tree on the property. There is much more to the story. Eventually, Mohammed Ali bought the property and turned it into a horse ranch. The house and spring house are gone but the history is still there.
