The majority of slaves were not able to escape their owners and remained in slavery until the end of the Civil War.
About 200 slaves.
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.
she led slaves out 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 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.
No, because if they did do you think the slaves would escape at all, yeah that's what I thought!
she was a slave and she was trying to bring all of the slaves in there to get freedom.
She saved all the slaves by making them go on an underground railroad. They wanted her for freeing lots of slaves.
it wasn't really underground, or a railroad, but it was like a secret path that soujorner truth helped all the slaves go to the south i think it was, so they would be free slaves.
Harriet Felt bad if she had to leave all those slaves to find out how to work that contraption so she became the guide to freedom for probably hundreds of slaves,maybe even thousands.
it shipped slaves across lake Erie to Canada to give slaves freedom
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.
