Best Answer

The underground railroad were a series of underground passages that led to "safe houses" for the slaves. The slaves could stop at these houses for food and rest without fear of being turned in. The passages, or underground railroad, led to states where slavery was illegal and therefore they gained their freedom.

The underground railroad was important to many slaves because of there skin color they were beginning sold to people and they were beginning separated from there family and beginning told what to do. Now they would follow the north star at night and if they see a quilt and if there is a blue color in the middle it is the Underground railroad but you have to be careful because it can be a trick. The Underground railroad IS NOT A RAIL ROAD OR IS NOT UNDERGROUND. The underground railroad helped slaves to be free.
