  • Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know the Quakers only received slaves so they can work them for a few days and then send them to Canada. We aint no schmucks!! We know exactly what went on and what is going on. Alright there Quakie!

  • This very COOL!!! Thanks 4 sharing and I am going 2 post this on my facebook page 4 educational purposes...U obviously have the heart of a great reporter because U R right in front of the house with a camera rolling like Geraldo Rivera...LMAO!! PEACE!!!

  • Dear Friend, please endeavor to speak with Zeal... louder... and with Clearness. the ambient hoises and Thy uncertainties of speech block the hearing of the willing Receiver of Thy Virtuous message.

  • @1jimcox I don't have equipment to filter the background noises. You get the point, or perhaps you need closed captioning which is available now.

  • Very intresting video like usual. Yes im back and my ? is the area where you live during the civil war was that considered the north or south. Any clue where the dividing line was roughly.

  • PA was the North.

  • @mia0899cs: Thank you for posting this vid.

  • You're welcome and thank you for watching it! I really wanted to get more people to see this vid because I found it very interesting myself. I lived in this area since 1973 and I never knew this myself until I read it in the local newspaper. This is awesome and I love that it still remains and people live in here. It's beautiful! So, I was happy to know that there were very good people out there who were against slavery and they risked their freedom too! God Bless!

  • good work

  • Thank you so much!

  • This is another thing in history that I didn't know about. Thank you for enlightening me as well as others. This I have to subscribe to.

  • Thank you! I lived in this area since 1973 and I didn't know this. I knew there were Quakers and I have been to their Friends Meeting House, however, this was recently in the local newspaper. I am glad that I enlightened you and I hope others are also enlightened. I really was!

  • Not everyone in the inner city breaks the law. There are people there that are working to get out. Not everyone in a racial group are the same. Stereotyped. You saying that is like me saying that all white people are like Jeffrey Dahmer or Manson. It's like saying all Muslims are terrorists. It's like saying all illegal immigrants are job stealers or felons. These things are not true. I have been to the ghetto and nothing has ever happened to me. Knowledge is in knowing the truth.

  • I worked as a Hospice Nurse and visited families in the ghetto who were so nice and didn't break the law. They also made me feel so welcomed. You are right. Many people think that all white people in that time era owned slaves. I found this safe house very interesting.

  • Yes, this does prove that not all white people were slave owners and did not approve of it. The Quakers risked their own life and freedom too! I noticed on my vid of Ghost Mountain that trapped door off the side of the road and built into the embankment was also a tunnel for an underground railroad for slaves.

  • is that you ancestral home?

  • I wish it was!

  • Interesting !

  • Thanks, JT! I thought it was interesting when I found it out! I'm glad you enjoyed!

  • Your Welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed. I love this house. It is gorgeous too!

  • Thanks!

  • For lack of any non-fictional facts... In the latest Batman movie(Christian Bale), it is revealed that Whane Manor was a stop for the underground railroad. Actually, now I remember that my sister-in-law's parents had a "railroad stop", complete with trap door to another room, and a hidden area on the top of the closet, where someone could sleep in.

  • That would have been really cool to videotape. I would love to own a house like that. My son would have fun with the trap door. I would too!

  • Extremely cool! I've always heard about the underground railroad, but this is the first time I've actually seen one of the houses in which the slaves would hide. Fascinating, thanks for sharing this!

  • Your welcome and thanks for watching! I lived in this area since 1973 and only recently found out from a local newspaper article that this was an underground railroad. They have yard sales in the Spring, and maybe I could get a tour.

  • Cool. My great grandfather was actually a slaveowner, but not one of the mean ones. After the war his slaves settled back on his land as sharecroppers and named streets for him and stuff.

  • That is interesting, Cliff!

  • Hard to believe that people treated people this way. So sad. Thanks for the historic tour.

  • Thanks for watching. Yes, it is horrible to have to keep on running because you want your freedom. The Quakers were really nice. That trapped door that I captured at Ghost Mountain was also a part of the underground railroad.
