Greensboro as a whole has a storied history involving politics and race relations. In the 1800s, the city was a stop on the Underground Railroad, which helped runaway slaves safely make their way to freedom. And during the final days of the Civil War, Greensboro was briefly considered the capital of the Confederacy and the capital of North Carolina. Albion W. Tourgee, an outspoken supporter of civil rights, also lived in Greensboro between 1865 and 1879. Today, the city has many historic sites, buildings and neighborhoods, each of which offers a different perspective on the complex Greensboro of yesterday.
