no slaves rode the underground railroad, as there was not actually a train underground taking them to safety. people would walk on a series of safe houses to the north
The Underground Railroad was a series of free blacks and Northerners who were against slavery that would guide slaves up to the North to Freedom. It wasn't an actual railroad, but at times it went underground to hide slaves. It was coined "Underground Railroad" so slave masters wouldn't know what it really was, and it was almost like a railroad. The main people who came directly to the slaves and guided them along the "Railroad" were coined "conductors". One very famous conductor is Harriet Tubman, also nicknamed "Black Moses".
She walked the UnderGround RailRoad when she secretly made 19 trips to take slaves to freedom. She had walk miles just to get people to freedom.She had to be careful. She always kept a gun in case one of the slaves wanted to go back she said`if you go back you die` `so walk on or die`
many northerners learned about slavery by personal contact with slaves.

Yes the Underground Railroad was a code word itself, so the Masters didn't know what it meant when the slaves mentioned it. They also used names like conductors and passengers like an actual railroad.
Slaves in Canada were mainly brought by American Loyalists fleeing the United States after the American Revolution. Some were also brought by Loyalists from the Maritimes or Upper Canada. Slaves were considered property, so they were brought by their owners.
Most were prisoners of war in one of the many ongoing tribal conflicts, sold to the slave traders to get them off of the chief's hands and make a profit from them, while also keeping them from returning to their own tribe. A few were hunted and captured like large game animals.
