Harriet Tubman
The Underground Railroad was a series of free blacks and Northerners who were against slavery that would guide slaves up to the North to Freedom. It wasn't an actual railroad, but at times it went underground to hide slaves. It was coined "Underground Railroad" so slave masters wouldn't know what it really was, and it was almost like a railroad. The main people who came directly to the slaves and guided them along the "Railroad" were coined "conductors". One very famous conductor is Harriet Tubman, also nicknamed "Black Moses".
During the Civil War, the leader of the Underground Railroad was Harriet Tubman. A common nickname for Harriet Tubman was Moses.
One of the most important "conductors" of the underground railroad was an escaped slave and abolitionist named Harriet Tubman. Otherwise known as "Moses" to the slaves she rescued.
Harriet Tubman, an abolitionist and former slave, was known as "Black Moses" for her leadership in guiding many enslaved individuals to freedom along the Underground Railroad. She played a pivotal role in the antislavery movement and as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, risking her life to help others escape to freedom.
She was called Moses (and if you ask me was very similar and deserved this title!) because she led people through the underground tunnel from slavery to freedom and safety!
