Description
An account of the resource
This letter written by Albert McFadden, one of the first abolitionists in Wayne County and a close informant of the head of the Underground Railroad in Wayne County, to Wilbur Siebert, an Underground Railroad historian based in Columbus, Ohio, discusses McFadden’s knowledge of the Underground Railroad in Wayne County. The letter details the individuals that were crucial to the beginning of the Underground Railroad in Wayne County. McFadden describes his experiences with others—particularly politicians—as he was attempting to get Wayne County to be a more open area for fugitive slaves.
McFadden and others who were present during the beginning of Wayne County’s anti-slavery movement were integral to the success of the Underground Railroad and freeing enslaved people. They spoke out against a topic that had been taken as the norm for over a century and was a part of the United States Constitution. In the end, citizens of the North like McFadden were a driving force behind the end of slavery.

An account of the resource
This letter, written by Harold Freedlander of Wooster, Ohio during the four years in which he was enlisted in the Army during World War II, discusses the outcome of the 1944 election, with Franklin D. Roosevelt elected to his fourth term as president. Freedlander discusses the boost in morale of the soldiers after his reelection, stating that if Governor Dewey would have won, it “would have certainly been regarded as repudiation by the people of our [soldier’s] war efforts.” The soldiers that were across the ocean, or even just those that were assigned at camps in the United States as Freedlander was at this time, were aware of what was happening back in the United States and it effected their morale. They wanted to know that what they were fighting for was also something that the United States citizens were supporting.
Freedlander also depicts how he saw how the world would turn out following the War. Freedlander was not too much off, with the United States and the U.S.S.R. becoming the two major powers in the world following the end of World War II. The one thing that Freedlander was unable to foresee was the different ways that the United States and U.S.S.R. would establish their dominance. The U.S.S.R. would attempt to gain control of all of Eastern Europe in hopes to stomp any further attacks from the west. The United States, with just as much (if not more) political and military power than the U.S.S.R., would attempt to establish a policy of containment of the communist rule that the U.S.S.R. was trying to spread. In the end, Harold Freedlander had predicted the Cold War almost a year before the War would officially end in Europe.

An account of the resource
This letter, written by Harold Freedlander of Wooster, Ohio during the four years in which he was enlisted in the Army during World War II, discusses his knowledge of what is happening back in home. Freedlander discussing the takeover of the Cleveland Electric Company by the federal government because of a strike by its workers. Freedlander goes onto discuss how he took quite a bit of heat about it, being from Ohio, from his friends that were with him. The federal government took over many business and factories during this time to divert their resources to the war effort, both abroad and at home. This allowed for the production of goods not only for the United States, but also its allies of France and Great Britain, both of which were lacking in goods as well.
Freedlander goes on to discuss and describe in great detail the money that he uses in Great Britain. While there was some provided to soldiers through the United States government and the Army, much of what a soldier may want or need has to be bought with the pay he receives for his service. A solider may buy anything from gifts for his loved ones at home to cigarettes to eating at a restaurant or going to a movie, some of which was more expensive overseas than it might be at home because of the low quantity of goods that was available. Freedlander found the money that Great Britain used to be fascinating and the price of his movie theatre ticket as well.

Description
An account of the resource
This letter, written by Harold Freedlander of Wooster, Ohio during the four years in which he was enlisted in the Army during World War II, looks at why the Germans are still fighting, even when he (and he presumes the Nazis as well) know that there is no way that the Germans could win. He says that they are no longer fighting Germany but National Socialism. Freedlander then goes on the relate this back to the Jacobins during the French Revolution. At such a late time in the war (less than a month away from official victory in Europe), the fight was about National Socialism, the principles it stood for, the way that it conducted government, and the possibility of a continuation of it. Similarly, the Jacobins in the French Revolution held control often by much political violence and radical legislation. This comparison made by Freedlander might be attributed to his degree in European History from Harvard College prior to his enrollment in the Army.

Description
An account of the resource
This letter written by Jessie E Pocock, a resident of Lodi, Ohio during the mid-1900s and granddaughter of a prominent abolitionist and Underground Railroad helper in Wayne County, wrote this letter to Wilbur Siebert, an Underground Railroad historian based in Columbus, Ohio, that included the story of a fugitive slave family that was attempting to find safety with Pocock’s grandfather. Pocock describes in detail how the abolitionist of Wooster, and the surrounding areas, were able to keep the family of eight safe from detection for over a day until they could get them into a wagon to get them to Wooster where there were larger and safer houses on the path of the Underground Railroad to get the fugitive family to freedom.
The necessity of people such as Jessie Pocock’s grandfather were undeniable during the Underground Railroad. They not only realized the dangers that fugitive slaves were in as they attempted to escape, but they were also willing to put their livelihood on the line to make sure that this family made it some place safe and did not have to worry about being captured on route to a safer and free place for fugitive slaves.

Description
An account of the resource
This letter written by Robert D Davis, a rifleman and interpreter during World War II who would end his career in Wooster, Ohio depicts what Davis saw as he went to one of the concentration camps shortly following its liberation. Disturbed by the way that the Germans forced those imprisoned at these camps to live, Davis discusses that there were still some living in the horrifying chambers because they had nowhere else to go. He discusses the sight of burned bodies, the crematorium, and the shock he felt as saw how many people were shoved into the small building on the pretense of showering.
The atrocities committed by Nazi’s during the Holocaust shocked both Soviet and American soldiers as they came upon the concentration and death camps in late 1944 and 1945. As SS guards attempted to cover up what was happening in the camps by burning and burying evidence of starving bodies, American and Soviet soldiers who liberated these camps were horrified to see multiple of the world’s largest crematoriums and thousands of prisoners, starving to the point of near death. Davis’s accounts of what he saw in the Dachau death camp were not unlike any of his fellow soldiers.

Description
An account of the resource
This letter written by Robert D Davis, a rifleman and interpreter during World War II who would end his career in Wooster, Ohio, discusses the some of the conditions that Davis is living in while he is overseas during World War II. Davis discusses that him and the rest of his unit are willing to live further away and have to walk further to get wherever they need to go in exchange for a much nicer place to live. In addition, Davis discusses the comradery that he and the other men in the unit have amongst them. He says that his fellow soldiers know that he should be sitting a certain way on the sofa to be comfortable. The comradery that soldiers have amongst each other is one of the things that got many soldiers through the war itself, but also the integration back into society following the war. The soldiers share an experience that others cannot relate to, making it difficult following the war when soldiers had to integrate back in to civilian life.

Description
An account of the resource
This letter written by Robert D Davis, a rifleman and interpreter during World War II who would end his career in Wooster, Ohio, depicts his post war plans. Davis explains that he plans on staying in Germany following the end of the War and when American troops are no longer necessary in Germany. Davis gives multiple reasons for this, especially monetary and economic reasons, an issue that would be prominent in the minds of many following World War II because the United States was just pulling itself back from The Great Depression in the 1930s when they went into World War II. Another reason for Davis to write home about his post-war plans and why staying in Germany would make a lot of sense to him because was only about twenty years old when the war started. The skills that he currently has will mostly relate to war and what he has done during war. Davis wants to be able to utilize those skills that World War II built for him, as other men who served will want to use their military skills as well.

Description
An account of the resource
This interview of Thomas L. Smith, a man who moved about Ohio and Pennsylvania quite a bit during the mid-nineteenth century, taken by Wilbur Siebert, an Underground Railroad historian residing in Columbus, Ohio, discuss Smith’s knowledge and interactions with the Underground Railroad in and around Wayne County. Smith discusses where he got his anti-slavery ideals and how he spread these ideals around Wayne County. The importance of Wayne County was undeniable because it was a major stop for many slaves seeking freedom as they were on their way to Oberlin, Ohio, a major hub for the freed slaves coming from the South looking for safety.
Smith and other like him that helped fugitive slaves to safety, worked in dangerous conditions, with punishments ranging from $1,000 fines and imprisonment. However, the danger that Smith and others like him faced was minimal compared to that fate of a run-away slave if caught. Slaves were attempting to escape with little knowledge of the area they were going to and no sense of direction. They could never be completely sure if they were safe because of the Fugitive Slave Act. In addition, if they were caught and sent back to the plantations they came from, they would face harsh punishments and beatings. The Underground Railroad helped to free thousands of slaves with the help of free Northern citizens such as Thomas Smith.

Description
An account of the resource
This poster for the draft for the Civil War asks for all men that are able, to come to the Wooster Courthouse for a draft for the Union army. The poster describes how many men are needed overall, and then breaks it down by county in an area of Ohio and how many men must come from each county. The Civil War was the first time that the United States had ever implemented the draft. The majority of the men that actually served in the army during the Civil War, and most other time that the United States has implemented the draft, were volunteers, not men drafted. However, having the military draft was an important aspect of the Civil War for both sides, especially the Confederacy, who had fewer citizens and therefore fewer men that were willing to join to the military. The draft was an important aspect of the Civil War because it provided both sides with the men they needed to fight, often with harsh opposition.
