How The Underground Railroad Worked

What was the Underground Railroad? How The Underground Railroad Worked? The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes in The United States that helped enslaved people go north and escape slavery. It is estimated that about 100,000 people escaped through The Underground Railroad. Some of them went as far as Canada to avoid U.S jurisdiction because after The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 passed, escapees were not safe even in the free states. The Underground Railroad wasn't run by an organization, but rather by many people, both white and black, both abolitionists and people who were once enslaved. Agents, Conductors, Stations, Station Masters were some coded names that stood for people who were part of the network. One of the most famous conductors or guides was Harriet Tubman, who escaped alone and after she reached the free states, she made 19 trips between 1850 and 1860 and helped hundreds of people become free and escape slavery. After the American Civil War (1861-1865) and the passage of the 13th Amendment, slavery was abolished in The United States and The Underground Railroad sought to exists and became history, remaining one of the most important aspects of the 246 years of slavery in The United States of America.
