Slavery sittuation Anti-slavery summery

Today I read a text called "Railroad to Freedom" it was about the slave situation the story of Harriet Tubman and Thomas Garrett.
My Summary of The slavery situation:
In southern USA slavery was a very big situation around the 1800s, Slaves were owned and forced to work long hours and if they refused they would be punished by their owners. And also in the 1800s people started to go against slavery and began campaigns to end Slavery and slave owners were the complete opposite and wanted to fight to keep their slaves.
In the 1800s an organisation was created to help slaves escape their owners to safe houses around the north of the USA and Canada. In the year 1861 the american civil war started and the slavery situation was no longer a big deal, Later after the war has ended between the union Army of the south and the north finally surrenderd It has became official that slavery was now against the law in the year 1865 and in the year 1863 2 years ago that it was declared by former President Abraham Lincoln that slaves were now free.
