Kindness

When all of the other people in this time of slavery gladly treat people like dirt because of their skin colour, I do the kind thing and, not only am I kind to the slaves that I rescue, but I am kind to all slaves. Sometimes the right thing to do is the hardest. In my case, this is certainly sure, but It will all pay off in the end!:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)!

Bravery

In Underground Canada,bravery is an important for people helping slaves;people like me,Alexander Ross!Most people would even encourage slavery without even thinking about the slaves.But I always help.I help slaves escape,I stop cruel masters from whipping slaves.I've saved dozens of slaves,and I'm proud of it.I was brave,and did what no one else would!!!!!!!:):):):)
