Episode 222 is the second of a three part series dealing with Harriet Tubman, and her work with the Underground Railway.

The episode deals with some of the brave efforts towards liberation that Tubman led, and ends with this description of the assault on Fort Wagner:  And then we saw the lightning, and that was the guns; and then we heard the thunder, and that was the big guns; and then we heard the rain falling, and that was the drops of blood falling; and when we came to get the crops, it was dead men that we reaped.
