When we talk about enslaved people fleeing enslavement and the Underground Railroad, we’re told one story - the journey north to Canada. But that’s only part of the truth.
In this eye-opening episode of Genealogy Adventures, we uncover the other routes enslaved African Americans took in their fight for freedom: south to Spanish Florida and the first free Black town at Fort Mose, east to the Seminole Nation, across the Rio Grande into Mexico, west into Native territories, and even by sea to the Bahamas.
These were bold, brilliant acts of resistance that reshaped what it meant to be free long before the Civil War. You’ll hear how geography, culture, and politics created unexpected corridors of liberation, and how the descendants of those freedom seekers can still be traced today. You may even make some sense of any unexpected DNA matches in these regions.
Join us as we connect the dots between overlooked escape routes, global Black freedom networks, and the determination of people who refused to accept bondage. This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a reminder that freedom had many paths and ports, and every one of them deserves to be remembered.
