By 1868 the Klan emerged as a terrorist group dedicated to defeat the Republican party and to put black people down socially and economically. The group was crushed by the federal government in 1871-72 and would not be signifigant again until the 1910's."

As a boy in Milan, Ohio who had lost most of his hearing and had only a fragmentary formal education, he first made money selling candy and newspapers to railroad passengers. Later, chiefly due to his fascination with electricity, he became a journeyman telegrapher where he moved from job to job. In 1868 he arrived in Boston, the de facto capital of American science and technology, where he became full-time inventor. There we worked in the electrical shop of Charles William along with Alexander Bell. In 1876 he opened his own shop in Menlo Park, New York. The 1860's and 70's were the peak of his inventing career, and inventions such as the quadruplex telegraph, the carbon-button telephone transmitter, the phonograph, the electric lightball and a system of electrical generation and distribution emerged from this period. In the 1880's he helped developing motion pictures."

For many years he studied and experimented in the area of teaching the deaf to speak, conducting his own school of vocal physiology in Boston. As early as 1865 he conceived the idea of transmitting speech by electric waves, and in 1876 he perfected and demonstrated the first telephone apparatus. In addition, under Bell's influence the magazine Science was founded (1880); his patronage of scientists interested in aviation resulted in the development of the hydrofoil."

He directed the successful battle with the Knights of Labor and kept the AFL free of radical and socialistic elements. He also won higher wages, shorter hours and more freedom for workers. As a man of great personal integrity and the leading spokesman of the labor movement, he did much to make organized labor respected."

Between 1899 and 1905, Wilbur and Orville constructed seven aircrafts; The first was a kite and was followed by three gliders. The disappointing performence of the gliders lead to key wind tunnel experiments in 1901. These test, coupled with their glideing experience, lead to the powered, sustained and controlled flights with a heavier-than-air flying machine at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on December 17 1903. By 1905 they managed to go from the marginal flying machine to the world's first practical airplane, and in 1908 they became famous for their public demonstrations of flight. Their invention would revolutionize travel and war."

Whilst working as a mechanist and engineer with the Edison Co., in his spare time he built his first automobile in 1896. In 1903 he organized the Ford Motor Co. by cutting production costs, controlling raw materials and distribution and adapting the assembly line to automobiles. This meant that not only would a car be cheaper to buy for the consumers, they would also be assembled faster. In 1908 he introduced an inexpensive, standardized car, the Ford T, of which he sold more than 15 million before the model was discontinued in 1928."

It was run by local groups of Northern abolitionists consisting of both white Americans and free black Americans. The name 'Underground Railroad' was used as a methaphor: The escaping slaves were called passengers, the homes where they were sheltered were called stations and those who guided them were called conductors. Most of the help given to fugitive slaves on their varied routes north was spontaneously offered, and came not only from abolitionists or self-styled members of the Underground Railroad. It is believed though, that probably no more than a few thousand slaves per year between 1840 and 1860 escaped successfully. Far from being kept a secret, details of escapes on the Underground Railroad were well known and exaggerated in both the North and the South."
