The Underground Railroad was a network of safe houses and secret routes used by slaves in the US to escape to the free states with the aid of the abolitionists during the 1800s. While not necessarily a key part to the official legal ending of slavery, it played a large part in freeing many slaves and offering those folks a chance at free life.
