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.
There were several different routes taken by slaves along the Underground Railroad. Some went to the Caribbean, to Mexico, to the northern United States, and even to Canada. Routes out of the deep south ran upward into places like Philadelphia and other free states.
It took slaves an average of 15 months to escape if they started at the beginning of the Underground Railroad. The escape route was 234 miles long.
She was not the only one who assisted in creating the Underground Railroad, however Harriet Tubman is most renowned for her advent of a secret route between various "safe houses" that courriered escaped slaves from the Southern United States to the North.
