The majority of passengers on the Underground Railroad were slaves

escaping to freedom.

The Underground Railroad was a secret network organized by people who helped men, women and children escape from slavery to freedom. It provided hiding places, food and transportation for the fugitives.

<em>The escaping slaves were called the passengers</em> and the helpers conductors or engineers.

Henry 'box' Brown was born as a slave in Virginia. In order to escape slavery, he was put into a wooden box in which he traveled in a variety of wagons, railroads, steamboats, ferries and a delivery wagon. He arrived safely in Philadelphia. He became the symbol of the Underground Railroad Freedom Movement that helped many slaves escape from slavery to slavery free states.

What are advantages and disadvantages of permanent settlements
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: Advantages:

1. The peasants condition improved and there was an

improvement in agriculture.

2. It resulted in a political advantage to the English as

the landlords who became the owners of the land became true supporters of the

English government.

3. Permanent Settlement led to the modernisation of India in

the sphere of revenue system.

4. The English government did not have to fix the revenue

every year. The income of the government was fixed once for all.

5. A large number of employees were no longer needed for the

revenue administration of the company and could devote their services to other

departments of the company.

But some scholars say that the permanent settlement had many

disadvantages:  

1. It had an adverse affect on the income of the company as

the revenue was fixed on the low side due to lack of proper measurement.

2. The system was beneficial only for the landlords. The

condition of farmers did not improve and they continued to be the victims of harassments

by the landlord.

3. The landlords who were not able to pay the required

revenue, their land was sold off.

4. The landlords led a luxurious life and did not do anything

to improve agricultural produce.

5. The system created a special class of zamindars who were

loyal to the English this hurt the national feeling of the people.
