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.

Is there an underground railroad for battered women if so how does one make contact in Michigan?
The 'underground railroad' title is often misunderstood. During slavery there was an actual underground railroad to bring blacks into Canada or to other States. The term 'Underground Railroad' for battered women means there is a retreat for battered women and their children to go too to be protected; given support and free legal counsel. In Michigan for years there was no retreat for battered women or children to go and a 'safe house' was inspired to house well over 750 women during the 1980's and over 1,000 children.
