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.
