When did Harriet Tubman make the Underground Railroad?
She walked the UnderGround RailRoad when she secretly made 19 trips to take slaves to freedom. She had walk miles just to get people to freedom.She had to be careful. She always kept a gun in case one of the slaves wanted to go back she said`if you go back you die` `so walk on or die`
Why did the slaves use the underground railroad?
To escape to Canada. They couldn't simply travel through the north because of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Part of the Compromise of 1850, the act said that Northerners were obliged to turn in runaway slaves to their southern owners. Fugitive means runaway. The abolitionists ran the underground railroad to help the slaves secretly (hence the term underground) escape to freedom.
How did the US Federal government aid the railroad industry just prior to the US Civil War?
By the end of the 1850's railroad construction had almost tripled from the early part of the century. A government grant of 21 million acres of public lands provided a huge incentive for building more track. Without the government's aid, the railroad industry could not have grown so quickly.
