History

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The journey from Louisiana to Canada through Wisconsin would be especially difficult because it had to pass through many states that were "slavery states," and this maximized the risk to be caught.

And even more, reaching Wisconsin, slaves had to cross the Great Lakes, which represented a major risk. And during the winter, this was almost impossible.

We can say this was a dangerous route to get to Canada.

We have the case of Shadrach Minkins. He was sent to Canada on the Underground Railroad.

Shadrach Minkins lived as a slave in Virginia but one day he decided that he should be free and in 1850 escaped to Boston with the help of abolitionists of the North. These northerners that helped him, were part of the network called the Underground Railroad, which helped slaves to escape and introduced them into the northern territory.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! If you could replace the Electoral College with any system of your choosing, what would it be? How do you thin
hram777 [196]

Many countries used to rely on an electoral college in order to get public officials elected, however, this system has been criticized for it has been perceived of as unfair in the event of a slight majority in an electoral district overruling the votes of a great number of citizens. At a first glance, it seems to run counter to the intuitive concept of democracy, i.e., the government elected by the majorities. IN the history of the U.S. there have been two or three presidential elections won by the candidate holding the majority of the electoral colleges yet failing to obtain the absolute majority of votes.

A solution often proposed to change this is the system of direct election. Under this system, candidates running for public office can only win provided that they manage to get the absolute majority of votes cast. Statistics on the number of votes per candidate and vote ratios are usually made for informational purposes, however, they are irrelevant to determine the final outcome.
