This week on Champagne and Murder, Please, we follow the chilling and courageous escape of Eliza Harris — the enslaved woman whose desperate flight across the frozen Ohio River became one of the most unforgettable moments in American storytelling. We explore the real history behind her legendary escape, the cultural shockwaves it caused, and how her story helped shape the nation’s conscience. Grab a glass, settle in, and prepare for a night on the ice.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Tom%27s_Cabinhttps://www.britannica.com/topic/Uncle-Toms-Cabinhttps://www.ohiohistory.org/stowe-and-eliza-what’s-the-real-story/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_Railroadhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_Kentuckyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Beecher_Stowe
