Best Answer

The number of people involved in the Underground Railroad is a subject of some historical debate, but it is believed that over 100,000 slaves escaped via the Railroad, traveling through dozens of "stations" leading to the north. The locations of many stations and the identity of many people involved of the Underground Railroad were never discovered and have been lost to history.

There weren't as many as people think because slaves, infact didn't work on the underground railroad. White people who felt sorry for them were the ones working on the underground railroad, but their were a few occasions a slave would stay there and help out.
