Text Any textual data included in the document Galesburg Colony at Knox College The Underground Railroad was an informal network of people who helped thousands of African-American slaves escape to freedom. Anti-slavery organizations and Underground Railroad activities were the first integrated social movements in American history. Galesburg and Knox College, located in West Central Illinois, were founded in 1837 by anti-slavery advocates who came to Knox County from upstate New York. The town and College, from their inception, were perceived as most likely the leading down-state center of abolitionism and Underground Railroad activity in Illinois. Though other down-state communities could lay claim to significant anti-slavery and Underground Railroad involvement, what made Galesburg unique was the fact that the overwhelming majority of its citizens, for the first 20 years of its existence, were opposed to the institution of slavery. The anti-slavery influence and Underground Railroad involvement of many Galesburg citizens gradually affected numerous people and communities in a wide circle surrounding the college town.

Text Any textual data included in the document Western Illinois Men Pardoned for Work on Underground Railroad By SEAN CRAWFORD • DEC 31, 2014 Illinois' Governor has posthumously pardoned three men for their work with the Underground Railroad. The men all lived in west central Illinois and were convicted more than 170 years ago based on laws that prohibited helping runaway slaves. Those laws remained in place even after Illinois abolished slavery in 1824. The Richard Eells House in Quincy CREDIT THE FRIENDS OF DR. RICHARD EELLS HOUSE Dr. Richard Eells was from Quincy. He agreed to help a fugitive slave get to an Underground Railroad site but the slave was caught and Eells arrested.

Text Any textual data included in the document The majority of McDonough County settlers were from the upland South, but others came as well, so there was intense political conflict before and during the Civil War. The Underground Railroad operated in McDonough County, but Lincoln also visited the town twice and spoke at the courthouse. Also, prominent businessman William H. Randolph, a Lincoln supporter who served as Deputy Provost Marshal, to enforce the draft, was murdered at Blandinsville in 1864—the most notable, and controversial, county murder of the century. However, about 2,800 men from the county served in the Civil War, and more than 600 were killed, so the town became noted for its huge Decoration Day commemorations after the war.
