Many believe that support for the abolition of slavery was
universally accepted in Vermont, but it was actually a fiercely
divisive issue that rocked the Green Mountain State. In the midst
of turbulence and violence, though, some brave Vermonters helped
fight for the freedom of their enslaved Southern brethren. Thaddeus
Stevens--one of abolition's most outspoken advocates--was a Vermont
native. Delia Webster, the first woman arrested for aiding a
fugitive slave, was also a Vermonter. The Rokeby house in
Ferrisburgh was a busy Underground Railroad station for decades.
Peacham's Oliver Johnson worked closely with William Lloyd Garrison
during the abolition movement. Discover the stories of these and
others in Vermont who risked their own lives to help more than four
thousand slaves to freedom.
