he's wondering if you have any insights on cape cod and that so in the in the same chapter written by catherine grover she does discuss in general terms the cape and what she points out is that mainly because of the lack so the cape could be a pass through point where where people might find a way to get then further up to boston or so on so if they were landed on the cape, but because it didn't typically offer a lot of opportunities for work. you didn't get a population of african-americans settling there, although it could have been a place where people passed through and actually this gives me an opportunity to say something else about the underground railroad in general terms. we're talking about activities that were illegal and clandestine. even in the north prior to the civil war it was risky and and a crime to assist in a bet someone escaping enslavement. and so there aren't a lot of records that are left behind. um to answer your question about the cape there may have been more activity than we're aware of but it's simply wasn't documented because it was illegal and carried the the weig
