Best Answer

Harriet Tubman (an escaped slave) and John P. Parker (a freed slave) had each worked to aid other escapees on the "underground railroad," a system of safe houses and guides working with abolitionists in the North.

Tubman escaped slavery in Maryland, then returned to guide as many as 300 slaves to freedom. Parker was a freedman when he moved to Ohio in 1845 to help conduct those who fled from Kentucky across the Ohio River.

They were the people who lead the escaping slaves north. The "railroad" was a series of stops on the route north. They would hide in barns, basements, and other spots over night before being sent on to the next stop.
