  4. I think that Underground to Canada will be about slaves brought from Africa, South/Central America. They will also be talking about the undergorund railroad from the U.S.A. to Canada. These black people are called "NIGGERS" by Americans which is a terrible name. They want to come to Cananda because law says there that all men and woman are to be treated fairly, even if they are immigrants, or if they are dark-skinned people.

  8. I think this book will be about slavery. I also think it will be about how a group of black slaves are trying to get to the free lands (Canada) but are caught multible times before they finally make it one day. I think that this book will also involve a little bit about living in slavery and how it effected the world when slavery ended.

  9. I think the novel underground to canada will be about african american slaves escaping to freedom in canada. I think it will be about two slaves and their journey to freedom in canada by the underground railway. I think this because of the title and the picture.
