What was the Underground Railroad?
The underground railroad was an informal network of people who, although in violation of the "Fugitive Slave Act" helped escaped slaves reach freedom in Northern States or Canada.The underground railroad wasn't actually a railroad nor was it underground. It was actually a system where slaves would go from house to house until they could escape to freedom. The underground railroad was an escape route for slaves to travel from safe house to safe house and head to the north.It was an 'underground' organization. That is, it was not publicized, and kept secret from authorities at the time. It was called a railroad, because the way it was organized was akin to the way railroads were run. With various stops along the way (Safe houses) and conductors leading them (Often born-free blacks).Harriet Tubman was a major figure in the history of the underground railroad.The Underground Railroad was used to help slaves in the U.S. escape to states that were free.
Why did slaves choose to go on the Underground Railroad?
They wanted to escape their condition of slavery. The better word would be that they needed to escape. Try to imagine what they went through every day. They didn't even own their clothing or shoes. Their family could be broken up at the whim of their owner. The women couldn't say 'no' to their owners sexual demands. They had a better chance of getting away by using the help that the Underground Railroad gave them.
Where did slave go when they ran away?
they traveled up north to the free states some people traveled by train or running up north but some followed the Underground Railroad led by Harriet Tubman where she helped rescue over thousands of lives. Hope this helps
