The Underground Railroad was a secret travel network for slaves in the 1800s. It was not an actual train, but rather a series of secret safe routes and safe houses. Some people agreed to hide slaves in their houses along the way, and some even transported them in wagons and such. The slaves were trying to escape to free states (states which didn't have slavery) and Canada, where slavery was illegal. One important person who helped this operation was Harriet Tubman. She was a former slave who made 13 trips back and forth on the "railroad" to lead others to freedom.
