  7. Questions and Answers 1. Both Josiah Henson and Uncle Tom were slaves. But in the eyes of Barbara Carter, they were different. In what way was Josiah Henson different from Uncle Tom? Uncle Tom was an enduring slave and unwilling to struggle for himself, while Josiah Henson did what he believed was right and took an active part in the anti-slavery movement. 2. Why was Henson called an African-American Moses? In the Bible, Moses was the leader who brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and led them to the Promised Land. Just like Moses, Henson helped hundreds of slaves to escape to Canada and liberty, so he was called an African-American Moses.

  8. Questions and Answers 3. What was the Underground Railroad? Who forged it? The Underground Railroad was a secret web of escape routes and safe houses. Many men and women, including both the blacks and whites, together forged it. 4. Why does the author want to tell the readers the stories of the heroes of the Underground Railroad?
