The Slavery Period (1619-1860)

'Conductors' on this railroad earn hero status  A plan to halt slavery in Virginia  Abolitionist Lovejoy loses life to cause  About `The Peculiar Institution'  An infamous voyage  Canadian haven and home for fugitive slaves  Ending an old slavery for a new one  Forging iron and slavery in Valley of Virginia  Nation's bondage to slavery issue led to conflict  One woman's rise from slave to Lincolns' confidante  Price on her head no deterrent to `conductor' Tubman  Richmond slave market busy to end  Slavery, not states' rights, inspired secession  Society's colonizing goals for Liberia  The `peculiar' factor that led to war
