The Underground railroad was indeed a success. Founded and operated by Harriet Tubman, slaves escaping to the North were given aid and shelter en route to Canada where slavery was illegal. Tubman herself had been a slave but escaped. She and other abolitionists helped the slaves get free passage north to Canada. Help was also given by people who were not dedicated abolitionists, but simply saw the need for change and hope.
