Americans in the northern states thought that slavery shouldn’t be allowed in a free country. As time went on more and more people joined in the fight to end slavery. These abolitionists helped slaves escape to the North through secret routes. This system was called the Underground Railway. Not only black people are suffering from racism but also Muslims are.

For all of us to move forward and live peacefully we need to be less racism and more respective at the end we are all human.
