JOURNEY TO FREEDOM Ellen Crafts was born a slave in Georgia around 1826. As a child, Ellen endured many hardships. She was often beaten and worked to exhaustion. Later, Ellen would fall in love with another slave, William Craft. But she was hesitant to marry, for any children that she and William might have would be born into slavery. Ellen had vowed never to be responsible for bringing another human being into bondage. Finally, in 1846, Ellen and William sought their owners' permission to marry. The young couple thought many times of attempting to escape servitude, but they lived in the Deep South, a treacherous 1,000-mile journey to freedom. Together, Ellen and William hatched a plan to escape. Ellen would pose as a man and the couple would travel north to find a new home for themselves and their future children. William slowly collected items of men's clothing and Ellen cut her long hair short. She became "Mr. Johnson," a slave owner and William became Mr. Johnson’s servant and companion. With determination and an equal amount of love and courage, the Crafts began their journey north. Ellen and William were afraid of being caught many times during their difficult trip to Pennsylvania. What if Ellen was required to speak? What if she was asked to sign her name? As a slave, she had never learned to write. These were just a few of the many obstacles and harrowing close calls that Ellen and William encountered on their way. Every step of their journey north through Savannah, Charlestown, Wilmington, Washington D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia were steps of courage. Finally, on Christmas Day 1848, Ellen and William embraced freedom in the city of Philadelphia. Ellen and William would settle briefly on a Pennsylvania farm owned by abolitionists. There they learned to read and to write. But soon they would journey north to Boston, where prominent abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, the founder and editor of the Liberator, arranged for the Crafts to embark on a four-month, 60 town tour. Ellen and William told their story, "one of the most interesting cases of escape of fugitives from American slavery", to hundreds of people, raising awareness and money for the abolitionist cause. Their story made it back to a newspaper in Macon, Georgia, where many were still wondering whatever happened to Ellen and William Crafts. In addition, President Millard Fillmore had recently signed a harsh new Fugitive Slave Law. The Crafts were forced to go into hiding but eventually escaped to England. In 1869, the Crafts returned to the United States and the state of Georgia with their four children. The Crafts had been away for 20 years, but now, fully liberated they were ready to start a new life in the country and home of their birth. This determined and brave family helped build a new nation of an emancipated America.
