Harriet Tubman was receptive to John Brown's ideas. Brown was impressed by her work on the Underground Railroad. Because she was very familiar with the topography of western Virginia , she shared that information with Brown. She also agreed to enlist Black recruits from Canada. Her help to Brown was chronicled in the plans found in Brown's Maryland farmhouse.

Who went on the underground railroad?
The Abolitionists were the anti-slavery lobby, partly to do with the Quakers. They were not very numerous, but they were very vocal, and included some distinguished figures. The Underground Railroad was a system of safe-houses, by which slaves could be smuggled into Canada, where slavery was illegal. This was a response to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which obliged the general public to report anyone who looked like a runaway, on pain of a heavy fine. This greatly angered the Abolitionists, and Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' in response to it.
Relative to the practice of slavery what was the underground railroad?
The underground railroad was neither a railroad nor was it underground. It used terminology from the railroad. A house where runaway slaves were welcome was called a "station." Sometimes word spread among slaves where to find a station. In the novel, Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, the runaway slave, Jim, knew of one such place in Cairo, Illinois. A slave might need to travel from one slave cabin to another slave cabin for a few days until he could find a station. At a station, he or she would find a conductor. The conductor would provide safe passage to the next station. That passage might be in a wagon underneath a load of hay. Or, they might be hidden in some other way. At the next station, they would be fed and there they would sleep and perhaps spend a day or two until another conductor took them to the next station. That continued until they reached their destination.

How did enslaved African-Americans escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad?
Underground railroad? No, actually the significance of the "Underground Railroad" is greatly exaggerated. The majority of escaping slaves got to the North or to British North America by taking the train (this is how Frederick Douglass got away) or going by steamboat, or by leaving their owners when they accompanied them on visits north. The reason the Underground Railroad continues to be celebrated so much is probably due to "Uncle Tom's Cabin," particularly the dramatizations of it that were so popular in the 1850s. In its most famous scene, Eliza and her baby have to cross the Ohio River by jumping ice floes. This was not supposed to be the Underground Railroad, but it is the classic runaway-slave scene in popular imagination. Regardless, it would have been very atypical. Relatively few slaves lived that far west. For every Eliza in Kentucky, there were 100 slaves getting on the overground railroad from Richmond or Baltimore or Washington City. They had lots of people to help them, they didn't have to do it in secret, and they didn't have jump across the floating ice.
