The underground railroad wasn't really a "railroad". It had a deeper meaning. The "underground railroad" was the hope that slaves may one day escape and the actions of those who helped slaves escape into freedom. People from the southern states that sympathized with the slaves helped them escape moving north. Slaves were not safe even in states that outlawed slavery because of the Fugitive Slave Act. They had to continue to Canada.

∙ 6y agoThe Underground Railroad was traveled under the cover of night by slaves. Slaves would usually stay with people that were already known to be safe or would hide in forests while making their way north. Also the Underground railroad was already mapped out so that slaves knew which houses to go to.
