There was a secret way to get to the north and there were several different paths to go on. Most of the beginning slaves would be mett by Harriet Tubman and she would either lead them herself, or tell them where they could run to. The first stop usually was an abolitionist house in disguise. The people who would take care of, hide, and feed the slaves would have a lantern in their window to show them that they were friends. So overall, the white Northeners sheltered, hid, fed, and pointed them to the next stop so they could make it to the north, or Canada, to freedom. Also, note that without these white abolitionist (mostly the Quakers), there would not have been an Underground Railroad. There were many other "conductors" on this railroad, but Mrs. Tubman is the most popular.
Women played many roles in the abolitionist movement. Some were not afraid to be vocal about the horrors of slavery. Others helped by hiding slaves in their homes, and many helped with the Underground Railroad, arranging help for slaves to be moved to free states. Many women helped by collecting signatures on petitions and writing articles to be published in anti-slavery newspapers.
Escaped slaves often joined existing communities of free African Americans, formed their own independent settlements, or sought refuge in abolitionist networks that helped them find safe passage to freedom in the North or Canada. Some escaped slaves also joined the Underground Railroad or engaged in other forms of resistance against slavery.
People helped runaway slaves for various reasons, including moral beliefs that slavery was wrong, empathy for the plight of the slaves, religious convictions, and a desire to support the abolitionist movement. Some individuals also helped runaway slaves as part of the Underground Railroad network, which aimed to aid escaped slaves in reaching freedom in the North.
Run away slaves escaped through a secret system called the underground railroad. The underground railroad was a connection of people who helped hides the slaves until they could safely make it to the north.
Yes they did and that is why it was so amazingly secrative. Yes because some of the whites helped the slaves get to freedom by using the Underground Railroad.
That is correct. The underground railroad helped slaves escape north to free territory.
