In the 1994 TV movie, Race to Freedom: The Underground Railroad, slaves use the underground railroad to gain their freedom. It takes place before the start of the Civil War and stars Alfre Woodward as Harriet Tubman.
The Underground Railroad was a series of free blacks and Northerners who were against slavery that would guide slaves up to the North to Freedom. It wasn't an actual railroad, but at times it went underground to hide slaves. It was coined "Underground Railroad" so slave masters wouldn't know what it really was, and it was almost like a railroad. The main people who came directly to the slaves and guided them along the "Railroad" were coined "conductors". One very famous conductor is Harriet Tubman, also nicknamed "Black Moses".
During the Civil War, the leader of the Underground Railroad was Harriet Tubman. A common nickname for Harriet Tubman was Moses.
