"Weapons of the Weak: The Underground Railroad and How the Most Powerless People in the United States Caused the Civil War” by Gettysburg College Associate Professor of History and Africana Studies Dr. Scott Hancock
Many Americans likely associate the Underground Railroad with exciting stories of Black women and men who, with the help of Black and White Allies, escaped from the clutches of slavery. We are less familiar, however, with how important those stories were to White Americans in the North and South in the years leading up to the Civil War.
Hancock lays out how the stories of the Underground Railroad were indeed quite dramatic—even more so because they reveal how and why the nation fought such a devastating war and continues to struggle to tell a more complete story of that war.
