Right. There is no evidence the underground railroad even existed. Despite that the media academia etc. have built it into this huge network with all kinds of statios just about everywhere.
“There is no evidence the underground railroad even existed.”
And a few years ago a new “cult” sprang up in the quilting community with a far-fetched story about quilts and the underground railroad. Supposedly, women would hang certain quilts outside as signals for slaves to follow indicating friendly homes, directions to the next “station”, etc.
It’s been proven a crock, but some people love the lore.
It did exist. My 3rd great grandfather helped slaves escape through it. There are several houses (at least two for sure) in Monroe County, Michigan and Sylvania, Ohio and probably Fulton County, Ohio, that were stops.
