slavery is different now because people are not slaves.In the south people want to have slaves but it is illigle.I would never want slavery to happen again.Back then slaves (if they ran away)would be punnished,then get their foot chopped off and then if they did it again they would be hung.That showed as a warning to other slaves as to not run away from home.Most people did not want slavery so they helped the slaves.Slaves were not taught how to read so when people put a big X on a quilt it ment that that house was a safe house.
