What was the system of Harriet Tubman that let slaves escape?
It was called the "Underground Railroad". The way it worked was there were many, many people, both black and white, who helped the slaves during their escape to the north. Most of them went as far north as Canada, where they would be completely out of the jurisdiction of the US. The slaves were given the directions to a location (but no names) of a person or family who were sympathizers of the slaves, and part of the Underground Railroad. They were not given the names of the people helping them to protect the identity of the ones who were helping them. Once they reached that destination, they were given food and shelter, and hidden for safety. Hiding them was for the safety of the slaves, but also for the safety of those helping them. To be caught helping slaves was pretty much a death sentence for both the slaves and those working the Underground Railroad. From that location, they were then given directions to another location further north, then another, and so on, until they reached their final destination. They did the majority of their traveling at night, which made them less likely to be caught. Because of Harriet Tubman and those who helped her, there were many, many slaves who were able to safely escape to freedom.
