Roanoke Canal Trail

Roanoke Canal is the doubled — the 'enslaved built' that's the aqueduct raised, the 'escape route' that's the same channel used. The 'stone arch' is the stood — the '200 years' that's the aqueduct's age, the 'ivy draped' that's the woods' claim. The 'camps fled' is the irony — the 'canal workers' that's the builders gone, the 'own work' that's the way out.

The 'towpath' is the walked — the '10 foot' that's the mule's path, the 'freedom's trail' that's the same stones. The 'three NTF' is the marked — the 'canal river town' that's the county's count, the 'only in NC' that's the density unique. Roanoke Canal is the turned — the 'labor's channel' that's the bondage built, the 'freedom's road' that's the same work used.

The file keeps Roanoke Canal: the built aqueduct, the fled camps, the towpath trail, and the labor turned route.

Roanoke Canal is the archive's North Carolina file — the channel slaves built then escaped through.
