Most of the abolitionists supported the Underground Railroad because most of the abolitionists wanted to end slavery.
They were all abolitionists who contributed in the movement of slaves from the southern colonies to the north. (Underground Railroad)

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.
Abolitionists and sympathizers of all colors, slave and freed Negroes, and fugitive (runaway) slaves. Some provided food and brief respite: an hour, overnight, or a day. Some provided transportation. Some provided funds to help maintain the operations. Others, like Sojourner Truth, risked their lives and freedom to make repeated trips to guide other runaways through the dangerous windings of the underground railroad.
the underground railroad is not actually a railroad, but a escape system back in the 1800's to help slaves escape. it was not fast, and it could sometimes take the slaves months to get to the north. they were after all, hiding in houses and traveling at night. (so don't try to see if you can get a ticket on the underground railroad!)
The Underground Railroad wasn't a railroad at all, It wasn't even underground. The UnderGround Railroad is a series of houses and shelters where people take care of slaves when they are trying to escape from freedom. And it was hell. Picture escaped slaves running for their lives while their "owners" sent out execution parties fully equipped with weapons and dogs to track down the escaped slaves.
The underground railroad was not a physical structure but rather a complex system of routes an escaping slave could use to reach a "free" area that did not support slavery. Homes where the escaping slaves could stop for a night and receive food and shelter were known as stations or depots. The height of the underground railroad was the first half of the 1800's.
she led slaves out of the underground railroad.
They all wanted slavery to end
Soon after the attack on Harper's Ferry by John Brown the Civil War began then the slaves were all set free and there was no need for the Underground Railroad any more.
No, Harriet Tubman did not create the Underground Railroad. When she fled slavery in the fall of 1849 from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, she tapped into an already highly organized, well run, Underground Railroad network of both white and black, free and enslaved people. Several dozen people fled from that region in the few years before her own escape, and she herslef was helped by someone who was probably already active in the Underground Railroad network there. Tuamn was one of the very few, however, who returned, repeatedly, so she could rescue her family and best friends. The Underground Railroad network she became part of had already helped possibly several thousand individuals over a fifty year period.
