Let's think about this...In the Old Testament book of Exodus, God chooses Moses to lead his people out of slavery. So check out this link and see if you can find the right answer... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_of_the_Underground_Railroad. Good luck!!

mkapad01 · Answer

you don't even know dude

tjbrew · Answer

Yes i do, but I am not going to give the answer as A) it doesn't help bobsterblue B) It is against Open Study's rules and C) Judging from your answer, it is you who doesn't know..Sorry mkapad01 but you obviously do not understand the meaning behind the spiritual "Go Down, Moses" which was how the slaves communicated to each other and sent encouragement to the slaves to find the underground railroad and freedom.  And finally, I am disappointed in your lack of respect. Good Luck!
