The underground railroad wasn't really a "railroad". It had a deeper meaning. The "underground railroad" was the hope that slaves may one day escape and the actions of those who helped slaves escape into freedom. People from the southern states that sympathized with the slaves helped them escape moving north. Slaves were not safe even in states that outlawed slavery because of the Fugitive Slave Act. They had to continue to Canada.
she would go back for them at night and then help then to freedom

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`
quakers and freed blacks
No she wasn't, because she knew shortcuts to where to go to when she was leading people to the Underground Railroad.
they traveled up north to the free states some people traveled by train or running up north but some followed the Underground Railroad led by Harriet Tubman where she helped rescue over thousands of lives. Hope this helps

Harriet Tubman started the Underground Railroad to sneak slaves from plantations to a place where they coulb be free.
Runaway slaves in the United States went to various locations, such as cities in the North, Canada, or even to remote areas to hide. Some sought refuge with Native American tribes or found support from abolitionist networks that helped them escape to freedom.

go to the dock and jump
Due to the language barrier and shorter distances. The underground railroad ran between the southern states and the north, all the way to Canada -- where slavery was illegal, but language was English in its majority. Trying to do the same into Mexico would be almost suicidal, as a huge expanse of land would have been traveled.
they didn't neccecarly go across it, they hid under them during the day then left at night
