Closing

During the attempt to free the slaves, the underground railway was a success. Many African Americans traveled North to Canada, and began new lives in their new country. The journey they traveled was marked with danger and required a team of brave people. The efforts of many quaker abolitionists and free blacks saved many lives.

This prayer is dedicated to all those who helped and all those who made it to Canada:

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness!

Come into God's presence with singing!
Know that the Lord is God!

It is he that made us in his image, and we are his;

We are his people, and the many coloured sheep of his pasture,
Enter Canada with thanksgiving, and give praise to all those who helped!
Give thanks to him, bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
His steadfast love endures for ever,
and his faithfulness to all future generations.

May we live in peace with each other,

All races and religions living in harmony.

Amen

Unity

An important theme in this book is unity. Unity is to unite, meaning teamwork or to combine.

All of the characters who helped the slaves had to work together. Their teamwork resulted in freedom in Canada for the slaves.

Teamwork is as important in our daily lives today, just as much as it was back then. To overcome obstacles in life, people need to work with each other.

Mystery

Another theme in this book is mystery. For our secret plan to work, it can only stay in the hands of our trustworthy people. Due to our secretive, confidential actions, part of it, is an unsolved mystery itself. If those awful slave traders heard the secret of our plan, the 'Underground Railway' would be a failure. No fugitive would ever make it to Canada to live a free and blissful life. Hopefully, we can continue to save the lives of our fellow American brothers and sisters, and keep this mystery an unsolved one! 

Bravery

If I had to label this book with a theme, many words would come to mind. Bravery is an important part in this book, and it took courage for the people to risk their status, trying to help the slaves. Without these brave people, the slaves would loose hope and would never get a chance to be free. God shall praise the brave for doing the right thing!
