Why was the under ground railroad so dangerous?
Well first of all the underground railroad wasn't actually underground, nor was it a railway. It was a path in which slaves created in order to escape from slavery. It was very dangerous. They went though many steps to get away starting with actually escaping from the slaveholder. It was very dangerous because while escaping to the north or to Canada they had to avoid getting caught, for if they did then they would be caught and brought back. Also fatigue was a dangerous factor.
