Read this excerpt from The People Could Fly Well, there in Ripley was a man named Mr. Rankins, the rest was John, I think. He had a "station" there for escaping
slaves Ohio was a free state, I found out, so once they got across, Mr. Rankins would see to them. We went at night
so we could continue back for more and to be sure no slave catchers would follow us there,
Mr. Rankins had a big light about thirty feet high up and it burned all night It meant freedom for slaves if they could get
to that bright flame
What viewpoint does Mr. Rankins most likely share with the speaker?
Escaping from slavery requires very little effort or determination,
Being part of the Underground Railroad becomes easier with time,
Taking personal risks is worthwhile if it helps others gain their freedom
Helping others out of a hard situation often leads to personal reward,
