The underground railroad is studied because it's an important part of our history. Today's students understand the extraordinary bravery of slaves like Harriet Tubman and of whites who helped them run the Railroad at huge risk to themselves. It is also important to understand that live for those slaves was so terrible that they risked everything to escape on the railroad. Not to mention that it's really cool! A network of homes across the country, all to transport slaves to their freedom.
