Frosted Glass Mug “Polly Jackson: The Protector of Freedom Seekers.”
$13.00 – $17.00
Polly Jackson was a fearless abolitionist who played a crucial role in protecting freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad. Her story is one of resistance, courage, and determination in the face of oppression.
Her Fight Against the Reverse Underground Railroad
During the 1800s, enslaved people escaping to freedom faced a dangerous obstacle—the Reverse Underground Railroad, a system where slave catchers disguised themselves as abolitionists to recapture those fleeing slavery. These kidnappers would trap, injure, or even kill freedom seekers to prevent their escape.
Polly Jackson, a formerly enslaved woman, refused to stand by. After escaping to Africa, Ohio, a settlement of freed Black people along the Underground Railroad, she witnessed firsthand the brutality of slave catchers. Determined to fight back, she armed herself with a butcher’s knife and a pot of boiling water, using them to defend fugitive slaves from attackers.
Her Role in the Underground Railroad
Jackson became known for her bravery and resistance, helping many escape safely to the North. She was one of the few women who actively fought against slave catchers, making her a key protector of freedom seekers.
Legacy & Impact
Though less widely known than figures like Harriet Tubman, Polly Jackson’s actions made her a critical figure in the fight for freedom. Her story is a testament to the strength and resilience of those who risked everything to fight for justice.
Her legacy reminds us that freedom was never given—it was fought for.
