What was the purpose of the underground rail road?
The underground railroad began during the period when slavery in the south still existed. There were slaves that had escaped from the south to the north of the Mason-Dixon Line which was a safe place for them. These slaves and some sympathizers in the north were responsible for helping slaves escape from their masters in the south. The underground railroad was a network of homes or other structures where slaves could be held safely until they could move on to the next destination. The slaves were fed and cared for while staying in these "safe houses." A slave would travel through the network of safe houses until he or she reached the north where slavery was illegal and they could stay safely in the open.

What is the Underground Railroad and how did it work?
Negro slaves that escaped from their imprisonment followed a route north to Canada, where many people along the way took them in and gave them a place to eat, sleep and hide while their "masters" were looking for them. Many people that did take them in weren't Negro themselves, but Caucasians that were against slavery and wanted these slaves to be free. As a result, they were willing to risk everything to open up their homes in secret to offer their kindness and hospitality to the escapees in their desperate times and dreams of their freedom when they crossed the border into Canada.
