One of the ongoing mysteries about the Civil War period is whether or not escaped slaves used quilts as signals to help their escape. Though evidence is well documented that enslaved African Americans traveled clandestine paths in their attempt to reach freedom, It has been very difficult to determine the part quilts may have played in helping to send secrets to aid others on their way along the"Underground Railroad".
