When I was in elementary school, probably 1st grade, we learned about the Underground railroad and Harriet Tubman and they played a tape with a song and they played the song over and over, so after hearing the song I believed that the underground railroad was underground and at night the slaves would go underneath the ground through these secret caves where there were railroad tracks and they would walk across the railroad, holding lanterns so they could see underground.
