The underground railroad is how enslaved people of colored would have a secret route along the way. Jonathan Walker was the conductor of the railroad and was the person helping the slaves escape. Lines were what slaves would call the escape route; lines were their code word so in case a slave owner heard them they would not know what they were talking about.

The station was the code word Harriet Tubman, a free slave made as a code for a safe place to hide.

Explanation:
The problem with Christianity isn't the religion itself, but the fact that its members are all human.
Originally, there was one Church, what we now know as the Catholic Church. However, during the 1500s, the priests of the time were corrupt (as mankind tends to be) and were charging people money in order to forgive them of their sins (as it was, nobody needed a priest to forgive them, but the people didn't know because they didn't have bibles).
And so, in 1517, Martin Luther published Ninety-Five Thesis, critiquing the Church, and soon the Church was divided between Protestant and Catholics. All the other denominations you see out there come from Protestantism.
None is better than the other. While I feel that the Protestant reformation was necessary, that does not mean that modern Catholics are necessarily bad. There are corrupt people in all churches. Meanwhile, the Christian community is supposed to be acting as one body, so any hostility you see between denominations is, by Christian standards, wrong.
Yes. Parts of the Confederacy did.
They seceded, 11 of 13 to be exact. They said they were no longer part of "The United States" and they continued with their way of life which included the keeping of slaves and slave labor.
They didn't think it was wrong when they were part of it and sure as heck didn't think it wrong when they had seceded.
At least until Lincoln came out with his Emancipation Proclamation. And even then some slave owners- most plantations were destroyed by the Civil War- did not follow it. A few did though
