The Underground Railroad was an important historical happening. It was developed between people who wanted to help free slaves. People traveled from the south to the north and back, using known routes to help free men.
The people who made the Underground Railroad work were called "Conductors". An example of a Conductor is Harriet Tubman.
HARRIET TUBMAN Harriet Tubman is perhaps the best-known figure related to the underground railroad. She made by some accounts 19 or more rescue trips to the south and helped more than 300 people escape slavery. Other well known figures: Isaac Hopper John Brown Thomas Garrett William Still Levi Coffin Elijah Anderson Thaddeus Stevens
I believe you mean what was the underground railroad used for. And the answer to that is, during slavery, it set people free because no slave owners knew about it and that is how slaves would escape from slavery/slave owners.

The underground railroad was established in the late 1700's by Isaac Hopper, but it is most widely recognized for its part in allowing many hundereds of slaves to escape to the North.
Even if there wasn't an underground railroad slavery would have ended without it due to the Civil War. The underground railroad was just a way for slaves to escape and make it to the north it did not end slavery.
